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

Won't change their mind but what the hell, it's cathartic.

I just want to point out that tankie and communist aren’t synonymous. There are some communists that are pretty cool. I don’t necessarily endorse all of their economic ideas but they’re not disturbed cult members who want me killed so they got that going for them.

Honestly, if someone wants me killed, that's generally the least of my beef with them.
