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

Translation:

Engels terribly misinterpreted the word "authoritarianism" which I like to use, but quckly revert to the actual meaning of the word, also what if we used the state-apparatus to ban racism and sexism?

It's the perpetual problem of the state. If it is powerful enough to ban such things, it's also powerful enough to enforce them as well. Only now the bigots and criminals the good people would have disenfranchised. Have more motivation to achieve state power than the good people.
