the Soviet Union crushing Hungarian workers in 1956

That's where the term comes from. Before that, it was common among the western left to support the Soviet Union and don't allow criticism. When they crushed the Hungarian workers, most western leftist redrew their support, except for tankies. That's where they got their name.
