Someone who supports existing socialist states, generally.
It’s just an updated version of “commie” or “pinko” for anti communist who don’t want to sound like cold war boomers.
But still coined by cold war boomers
I suppose it was probably coined by Silent Generationers, but it’s modern usage is far more recent
