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

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

Alt text: A meme of 3 panels. The top panel is Frodo from Lord of the Rings wearing an anarcho-communist hat, asking "So, what objective conditions need to occur for a ruling Communist party to introduce Democracy and direct worker self-management, instead of merely recreating the exchange system of capitalism?"

The second panel is simply a picture of Karl Marx, with the caption (silence).

The third panel is Frodo smiling glumly, responding "All right, then. Keep your secrets."

Nah bro just trust me. One more revolutionary vanguard party bro, then we'll allow the workers to have self-determination. Just give us absolute power for a little while, we're totally gonna give it back bro!

tbf that distinctive silence over when coercive state apparatus withers away is more of an Engels trait.
