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

lol we might all be doing that for all seasons pretty soon comrade.
I fucking hate those misleading propaganda maps. Land doesn't vote.
This is what an accurate map looks like:
It's still pretty damn red.
Well, yes, that's why the Republicans are in charge. But it still doesn't show density well need one of those graphs with the bars.
Looks infected. I'd get that checked.
well, given enough time trump may have similar effects on the number of living academics and not starving people ... but that'd still be a catch?
MAGA is a demagogue movement. you can easily compare it with any other demagogue movements in history, if you want to
Oh yes, Maoism. A period where a good time was had by all.
Seems like you have counterrevolutionary thoughts, you need to confess.
Though that would explain why he's gone out of his way to make himself look like a giant mango...
Just try to tell me he's not the spitting image of an especially large underripe mango that's been sitting in formaldehyde since 1968.
Oh my God, Trump is a PRC bioweapon
I love that all of Vermont is blue in this picture and therefore wholly decadent and elite.
Oh shit!!! My favorite subreddit is on Lemmy :D
You will find it is extra spicy here, since a lot of the "root" culture of Lemmy grew from exiled tankies of different flavours originally (it has since become a lot more diverse). If you are into that kind of drama, oh boy, it's easily in the top 10 most discussed topics on Lemmy.
I'll be honest, I am partial to the Tankiejerk crowd because they were the only Leftist community on Reddit that allowed me to ask the necessary questions needed to finally take a step away from Liberalism and start determining my place in Leftist thought / theory.
Anarchists (especially there, but, also in general) were always very patient and understanding, especially given how much Usonians need to be graded on a curve. 😄
If anyone is curious, I would say that after maybe 6 or 7 years of reading and talking and digesting following being accepted by that subreddit, that I settled somewhere between a Syndicalist (strong labor unions) and an Anarcho-Communist (free and independent Soviet system).
I am a Bahá'í, so, my values are basically 'world unity.' Our administrative and community structure mirrors that of the soviet. Both of those fit in neatly.
A little red book with Trump quotes is all that’s missing.
