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

You gotta be careful of astroturfs, though, such as flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0

I got banned from over there for merely insulting Tankies, once.

The only mod action I see relevant to you on flippanarchy is a removed comment, not a ban. Specifically

The CCP helped get Nazis in the White House, Tankies are all Nazi supporters.

I was unable to post or comment, and I also had a post there removed. That absolutely is a ban.
