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

How does this post have 9 downvotes? Tankies lurking?

Unfortunately there's a large Tankie platform on Lemmy called "Lemmygrad" or something like that and they love brigading here and at Blahaj zone

They always are.

Or TERFs that saw this post.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if there's a significant overlap between TERFs and tankies
