    It’s the term that describes those communists who cheered on the Soviet Union’s violent crushing of the 1956 Hungary revolution protests.

    The term is often used when someone claims they support leftist ideals but pushes for authoritarianism.

      the Soviet Union’s violent crushing of the 1956 Hungary revolution protests.

      Did you know that was recently revealed (through Trump’s jfk doc dump) to be yet another CIA backed fake color revolution?
