        At first it referred to westerners who supported the Soviets sending the army into Hungary in 1956 (ish) to crush an uprising there.
Later, online, it started to refer to unironic communists.
Now it's basically the liberal version of screaming "woke". It can mean anyone or any position to the left of AoC these days.
