Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

Socialism has been gaining ground in the US, unlike communism or anarchism, so it is more understandable I feel more optimistic than you do.
I would say that if your concern is fascism, than working with liberals is the only move one can make at this moment, as unfortunate as that is.
Happy you’re optimistic. We need positivity moving forward. Working with willing Liberals is a must.
Getting them to see that they are probably in more danger than us leftists seems to move the needle a bit.
But sadly, most of the time it's frustration. But yes, positivity is the only option.
