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

Reminder to our resident tankies: None of the BRICS countries is communist or even close to it. You just like government painted red.

And there's Russia, a literal post-fascist country working with fascist and imposing fascistic anti-LGBTQ laws on its citizens and the world using asrtoturf NGOs like CitizenGo (any secular democracies not at least listing CitizenGo as a hate group let alone a terrorist group is committing suicide).
