      I always thought it was members of the British communist party who were against Stalin getting involved in Czechoslovakia.

        Czechoslovakia was 1968, well after Stalin’s death. You’re referring to Khrushchev in Hungary in 1956, which is indeed the incident that led to the split in the CPGB, but when people use the term today they use it against those who generally support socialist states.

          True, got my history wrong. I’m aware of where the term comes from. It’s become a meaningless buzzword at this point.
