Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Can't remember which aircraft it was, but there's a story about how one of their copied models had a mysterious hole drilled in it, which was missing from the originals. A good amount of time was spent speculating on what its purpose was. Was it an improvement of some kind? Some new hardware? A space for a specialized camera?

Nope, turns out the model they copied from had a extra hole drilled there by accident, and not knowing what it was, the soviets just kept it.
