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 or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

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

Post this to memes on .ml and we’ll all take bets on how long it lasts

That moment which was very important to the US news media was not that famous in China. Just another photo from their troubles.

I wonder what moment of ICE / national guard deployment has produced a picture that for the rest of the world is emblematic of the collapse of the USA while we saw it and went "oh well another day in paradise".

... you are aware that China engages in massive censorship on the massacre, right

For what it's worth, current developments in the US are massively tanking America's reputation and I get the impression that this is broad based and relatively permanent.

Also, two wrongs don't make a right.
