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

I'll worry about dumb ass tankies when they present even a 10% credible threat, till then who cares. Nazis in the bedroom and worried about commies at the door???
Considering that tankies playing apologist for Russian imperialism have had a significant effect on European politics in the past three years, and that China is a major power currently committing genocide, I don't know that "Wait until you're in line for the gulag to criticize authoritarians" is all that brilliant an option.
I love that all the responses completely ignore the issue of genocide in China and Ukraine no matter how many times I bring it up, because it's inconvenient to admit that they only acknowledge that condemning some genocides is moral. But anything to bootlick for fascists, I guess.
Nvmind after checking your profile you'll not be deported you are fine, you can just look other people being deported for speaking against Palestinian genocide or stuff like that ๐
