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

the irony. is that when apartheid falls, everyone will have the same rights.
and the worst biggots will be forced to live in a more peaceful and loving society, and the only consequence they'll face is that maybe their children will tell their grand children to forgive their grandparents opinions because they are from a "different time".
however, there will need to be Nuremberg trials and put leaders, war criminals and genocide propagandists in jail to rot for the rest of their lives.
I hope that's true. I wish it to be so. But I wonder some days if Israel won't just end up a North Korea style pariah state, a hypermilitarized enclave too prickly for the surrounding states to bother dismantling.
if that were to happen, Palestine will get intentional support and it'll be like North/South Korea. Israel will be hell, Palestine will be a nice place to live.
I wouldn't really call South Korea a nice place to live. Compared to the north, sure, but not overall.
the comparison was about one being a ok modem state, and another a pariah hellscape state.
not saying that Palestinians will become Koreans
