I see it thrown around all the time. Is it derogatory or a term of endearment?

And does it apply to every ML? What context gives it meaning?

    I'm pretty sure originally it was a derogatory term for members of the british communist party who supported khrushchev sending tanks into hungary. Then it became a blanket insult against MLs before it was coopted by libs to mean anyone to the left of bernie sanders.
