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 or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

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

It's great how in the same comment section, you'll have someone telling you that you are a CIA shill, someone telling you that you're a dumb conservative, 15 people calling you a liberal, two people going on at length about how you deserve to die because you ~~were born in the "wrong" country~~ "have inherently evil ideals", half a dozen using any way they can to make your country's name something negative, and once in a blue moon you'll have someone telling you that your enemy isn't the person on the other side of the screen, it's the rich.

That last guy gets called both a fascist CIA shill* and* a dumb tankie.
