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

Quoted from his wikipedia:

On April 7, 2023, police responded to a report of a woman being held against her will at Carter's residence and found the complainant in Carter's garage. The complainant reported that she had been held there for several years after Carter picked her up while she was panhandling. She also alleged that Carter had physically and sexually assaulted her and forced her to consume narcotics while she was captive. The woman escaped multiple times, but the police released her back to Carter after taking her to the hospital.

I kind of expected him to be a scum bag, but this is just straight up fucked. Also the fact that cops gave her back to him multiple times just shows how lazy, crooked, and or just plain stupid they are.
