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 mean, „counter-revolutionary” should always be mentioned in definition of hypocrisy. The moment it gets thrown around, you know exactly who you’re dealing with.
I mean, Robespierre was guillotined for, among other things, "counter-revolutionary activities".
In USSR though there could be also a charge for "Trotskyism" or "if you were brought here before court of people's commissars - you've definitely did something wrong", which was when NKVD didn't want to really bother with manufacturing accusations.
