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

China would be a democracy if the candidates put on the ballot for public approval weren't chosen by the CPC. In theory, their voting system is more fair and democratic than first-past-the-post (which is objectively the worst voting system).
I mean, yall really think Hillary Clinton was not chosen by the state? Or Biden/Harris last year?
Not really defending China here but, it’s not like our bullshit is better. The DNC and RNC run their bullshit how they want.
I hate the DNC as much as you do, bit the DNC is not the state.
