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

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Victim blaming at it's finest! Ukraine gets invaded, it must be their fault!

Maybe Ukraine shouldn't have been dressed so provocatively.

Westerners don't get it. They didn't see citizens in Crimea and Donbas walking around in their "fuck me, Putin" shorts and their "imperialism now" borscht stained t-shirts.

Why not both? Russian invaded Ukraine and the US is using it as a proxy war.

Why not both?

Screw Russian invaders, but we (NATO) are funding the defense of Ukraine. Give credit where credit is due!

And if we happen to put Russia on its knees, begging China and India to ass fuck them, then so be it. Shall there one day be peace on the Ukrainian-Chinese border!
