Authoritarian apologists that pretend to be communists. You can find them in the wild typically talking about how great and strong the Chinese government is and how evil and corrupt the "US Imperials" are.

Historically the term was used to describe communist members that defended the use of tanks against civilians during an uprising idln Hungary, hence the name.
