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

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

That's the point
I sincerely believe they are that ignorant and misinformed. I've seen them in the wild. It's the human psychosis of tribalism.
Write out any statement by a tanky or a magat, block out any specifics or tell tail phrases. So you can just look at how they talk about others. You won't see a huge difference.
I think it's both... They're the "useful idiots" and bots of someone else's machinations...
My theory is it's a liberal plot to keep liberals from considering communism.
They're more like a cult.
Ooh good point, they're the red scare agenda to discredit what's real
I strongly believe that (of course they've sucked a couple of unbalanced real people in as well)
