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

If tankies and liberals would stop stabbing us in the back, then maybe us anarchists would stop infighting with them. Look at any anarchist history and it almost always is anarchists joining some sort of popular front, and then the statists backstabbing us the first opportunity they get. Spanish Civil War and the Ukrainian War for Independence being two perfect examples.
Personally I still work with statists, because I know I won't get far organizing if I entirely avoid them. But I keep them at arms length cause I'm not letting those leopards anywhere near my face.
