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

Won't change their mind but what the hell, it's cathartic.

How do you ensure the free flow of information? Flooding the zone is enough to take most people out of the game.

With teeth. Non-compliance means a series of escalating responses up to and beyond the dissolution of the organization, redistributing financial assets, personel, and intelectual property to either federal orgs or smaller companies. NPR, PBS, etc.

Doesn't organized crime show that it's possible to maintain forbidden organizations with information advantages? How can a state stay on top if key officials are bribed?

A vote of no confidence called by the citizenry, enshrined into law, that enables the unilateral disbarment of any elected and appointed official, on top of direct oversight watchdog committees requiring audit transparency for citizen journalists.
