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

Oh yeah, I'm sure the afghan girls not being allowed to go to school or doing anything anymore are super happy now

Person with Rainbow Dash profile pic supports racist theocracy.

Fitting, heh...

tankies are borderline right wing trolls, they don't actually give a shit about queer people

Nah I'm gonna stick with my feminist internationalism. It's a bad idea to invade again, but the taliban is bad and I support what the Afghans want from Afghanistan with an emphasis on any freedom and equality

Yeah. There's a vast array of opinions between the unacceptable "We should invade again" and the unacceptable "The Taliban is Necessary, Actually" that are actually conscionable.

The original post on Reddit doesn't mention, and the Reddit tankiejerk sub doesn't allow other subreddits to be mentioned in the comments, apparently?
