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

My additions:

  • “Sealioning”
  • That’s all a bunch of lies, you’re just blindly linking to a mouthpiece for US imperialism like Washington Post / BBC / Wikipedia
  • Links to rt.com
  • The answers you seek are in this 90 minute YouTube video
  • You’ve unwittingly EXACTLY PROVEN MY POINT (refuses to elaborate)

I am sure there are more

The Gish Gallop is often used, although you've kind of covered it with point 2 and 3.
