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 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

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

It always perplexes me whenever I see far-left american students excusing Putin (a far-right dictator who even wants a state from us), conservative gay men A) existing and B) supporting Trump, transgenders licking Stalin’s boots and ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York joining forces with the far-right because they’re both lobbying to make being trans illegal and think such politicians are Israel’s friends when in reality they’re just selfishly using it to fulfill their doomsday prophecy. Guys, they won’t and historically haven’t hesitated to throw y’all in camps on day one after getting what they want.
