No it doesn’t, I’ve only heard radlibs use it and it was against any supporters of AES. Originally it was used for people in Britain who supported Khrushchev’s intervention in Hungary, but since has been expanded on the internet.

Lol. It would make sense for the term to be more mainstream in the UK considering it’s from there. Basically, they are trying to associate Corbyn with people like us who would have supported the Soviet intervention, which is a stretch.
