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 been so weird watching certain tankies twist themselves into pretzels trying to wrangle how 47 is good actually because he's aligned with russia, what a pleasant surprise

Tankies have this weird dance where they have to keep up the normal US bad thing but also piss on people's legs about Trump being no worse or better than Biden because Trump continuing to be in power hurts Westerners.

I almost think Trump could get couped by Communists tomorrow and tankies would find a way to hate it.
