To me it looks pretty clear cut that they are referring to the Nazis and are implying that both Tankies and Nazis are authoritarians, which is why they used that word instead of Tankie. You do you though.
Off topic: If you put the appropriate number of > (the space following the > is semantic) on the empty lines between the quotes they will connect. Had me a bit confused for a second there because I divided by paragraphs intuitively.
Back to topic: I don’t see anything supporting your hypothesis in those quotes.

Why do they refer the Nazis and their genocide at all? The comment above it is about “authoritarian” communists. Why would you then write about Nazi genocide after communists are mentioned?
Because they are creating an equivalence between Tankies and Nazis in their mind, viewing both of them as authoritarian, so from their perspective it is related.
Just as a disclaimer, I’m not here to say their statement makes sense, just that I think you misinterpreted their intended meaning.
