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's pure campism. They never learned how not to pick sides. That's why they call everyone a liberal, it's not about your beliefs it's about what side you are on.

More than that, it's about what side you aren't on. It's not like Russia and China, for example, are perfectly aligned in their goals and will always be allies. But as long as they're both against The West, that's enough for them.

Yeah exactly. Oh you're an anticapitalist anti-imperialist anarchist? Well if you say something bad abt China you must be a liberal

And then they ban you, so you can't call out their bullshit.
