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

"You see, kidnapping children is good, actually, as long as those children had a tiny chance at being the victims of sexual abuse if you didn't kidnap them."

(Let's just agree not to worry about how many of those kidnapped children were sexually abused after being kidnapped...)

They were sexually abused in the name of fighting NATO, so that's totally OK.

Yep. That's campist logic for you. The actions aren't wrong just the people doing them. Similarly the campist in the United States would complain about the lack of truly different political parties yet they would champion Xi and the CCP etc etc etc.

are you using camp as in ludicrously tragic or as in partisan or some other usage? just trying to keep up

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 6 days ago

Partisan tribalism. Though it is all hypocritical and ludicrously tragic as well. To be able to identify oppression and tragedy correctly but only in others.

Do we have proof those children were not sexually abused after being kidnapped?
