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

Remember, the brutal theocratic puppet of foreign imperialists which is widely despised by the people it occupies is National Liberation, Actually, as long as it's against Bad Camp! (infosec.pub)

Contact is not intervention. Why are you interpreting what I am saying as cutting complete contact and forcing isolation? You and the person I originally replied to jumped to conclusions on questions I offered and assumed arguments I didn't make, wouldn't make, and wasn't implying.

I ain't continuing a discussion like that. But hey, wanna restart and try again? I'm open to it. But you'll have to listen to me and I'll promise to listen to you. Not the vague shapes in our head about each other filled with assumptions and guesswork from the I'm sure billion other online interactions we have had with similar people, but to listen to each other in the vacuum of this thread. Not assuming anything. You think I have an implication I am making, you can ask.
