Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

Slow? That's an understatement. Most of the time—where there is no army—shit's generational. People that start it are long dead before any outcome.
They want the 1917 Russian Revolutions without the 60 years of thankless groundwork that preceded it.
They don't care about what actually causes change - they just want the aesthetic of change. Which goes a long way to explain why they simp for the Soviet Union and PRC so hard.
