Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

Ooh! Word play! Lemme try!
America didn't torture it's detainees in the "war" on terror; we used Enhanced Interrogation^TM^! Now with less calories!
Enhanced interrogation techniques in the "police action" in the middle east because we had "proof" they had "WMDs" no less. It definitely "wasn't" a war based on lies for oil...
Obviously not! That's why we changed it from Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) to Operation Iraqi Freedumb!
I mean, it was definitely a war based on lies, but not for oil.
