My new favorite hobby is calling tankies bad-faith imperialist shills and implying they're not communist enough

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 denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
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

Feels odd to see tankies and anarchists grouped together
It's even funnier when you think there's Russian anarchists and Nazis fighting side by side against Russia in Ukraine lmao
People classify them as libleft and authleft but in the end they both carry water for capital. Anarchists are perhaps more articulate than libertarians but they both fundamentally agree that it's the right ideals/laws that make society prosper rather than the structure of the economy. Tankies think communism is when the state has a monopoly on labor.
