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 concept of leftist unity is not a bad one, but there's a player that believes in it only when it's in their favor. And that one isn't demsocs or anarchists.
yup. ever time I see someone shit on liberals and proglibs because they 'enable the bad guys', well, you didn't vote for the least bad, and here we are.
It's unfortunate, because unity and compromise across a coalition is necessary for success in any large-scale endeavor. But bad-faith actors are always ready to exploit it for their own ends - and not just tankies.
