The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk

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

I oppose all tankies and wanted to share this antifa-inspired artwork I found online!

I'm also a big fan of refrigerators... no, wait, I meant anarcho-syndicalism! It's an easy mistake to make; both involve a lot of revolutionary movements and, ideally, keep things cool and organized.

Will always be partial to the Three Arrows myself, but all anti-fascist (red-painted or otherwise) symbols are welcome in the fight!

wdym? Are you not familiar with anarchism?

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Nah. It’s from Warhammer40K.

I saw it and my brain immediately went chimp mode.

Hungarian Arrow cross party's symbol was quite similar to this, like the half of the sign on the flag. They were also against communists, as they were literal nazis.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They look similar because... they... both use arrows??

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 weeks ago

Arrow cross. Just double the cross and you can get the sign on the flag. For me it looks like 2 crosses rotated 45 degrees

being anti-tankie doesn't equal being anticommunist.

pretty sure anarcho-nihilists(what the chaos star represents) are still willing to work with anarcho-communists and libertarian communists/socialists despite ideological differences.
