Guys, at this rate I don’t think the revolution’s going to happen anytime soon.

It’s a political slang word. It refers to those who support leftist authoritarian regimes such as communist, China. Regimes where the state can do no wrong and the people do all the wrong so the state must step in to crush the people and “protect them” from dangerous, Western and capitalist ideas. Pretty sure the name derives from the 1989 tiananmen square incident.

The term has nothing to do with Tiananmen square and it’s usage actually predates the massacre by almost 40 years.
