Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

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

Thank the markets genocide is impossible under capitalism!
PROTIP: being anti-capitalist doesn't mean you have to simp for dictators
That's the point I'm making though - dictators are the problem not socialism. True, so called socialist societies have trended towards dictatorships, but it's not inherent within the system. And being a genocide psychopath is not an inherent trait of dictators (although again, it does trend that way). But genocide is just as much possible capitalist societies as it is socialist.
The only person saying otherwise, though, is the original picture, who is implicitly being mocked on account of this being... well, Tankiejerk.
