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

That makes sense I remember reading an article warning that Israel was a testing ground for how the United States would handle public dissent.

I wish China could understand that repeated denial of their misdeeds serves only to discredit them in times of progress and prosperity and it's only added to the negative perception they have from the public abroad.

Thank you for the thorough reply and I think it's helped me understand both concepts a little better.
