The original definition comes the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 to describe communists who supported the crushing of the uprising.

A lot of people who use that term to describe other tankies seem to be using it the correct way while people who are tankies seem to want to change it to something else because of the implications of that definition.
It reminds me a lot of how conservatives will claim nazi or racist or fascist has lost all meaning
