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

NGL, I love the possibilities that having one consistent government body & party in power across many decades. That said humans suck, and we're terrible at the self regulation it would take for that sort of system to not become corrupt.

For sure. Benevolent dictator would be the most effective form of government, but whom could you possibly trust with that kind of power?
