@LtLiana No I think it was coined to describe communists in the west who were down with the ~~Stalinist government led by Rákosi~~ [edit, whoever the old hardliners were in Hungary and whoever it was in the USSR under Kruschev] sending tanks to subdue Hungary. Wikipedia on Hungarian uprising for those who want to know more.

Tankies generally are still Stalinism apologists, among other things. I don't think it has changed that much.

These days they just have a whole lot more egregious totalitarianism to be apologists for.
