You can listen to her on this episode of 'The Season of the Bitch podcast' talk about this.

"WW2 was an inter-imperialist war" is a well established take on the left and not a specifically tankie one. Tankies tend to line up with Stalin, who of course led one of the Allied powers. <em>The Myth of the Good War</em> is a good example here.
In any case, no matter how you look at it, someone (probably not a tankie) refusing to pick a side between Allies and Axis because both were imperialist is in no way an example of someone saying they'd prefer the Axis.
