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

Lenin was relatively progressive on the matter of LGBT folk. Stalin? Not so much. (infosec.pub)

I'm one of those crazies who believes that sufficient gun/weapons rights should allow people to expiriment with whatever forms of government they please. That is to say, once someone in power has opted to violate those, I quickly lose interest in their theories, intents, or what-if scenarios versus what they actually managed.

Maybe that's intellectually lazy of me, but I'm just being honest. I'm probably not one that you want to have that Lenin conversation with. I believe modern Israel lost the moral high ground vs Hamas and the rest at, basically, conception.
