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

So support for workers is conditional for them?

Is there anything wrong with that? If workers are doing wrong certainly I wont support them

It is privileged to believe people can just choose labor in nations with poor security nets like the US. Industrial workers include those exploited in the arms industry. MLs arent even pro-worker because they make exceptions on who counts as a worker and oppose unions.

"I care about workers, except the ones on the wrong side of Border, which is Very Important To Me"

A kind of national variant of socialism.
