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

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

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.
Huh. Hadn't figured a distinction, but I don't doubt it. I just hate having this slammed down my throat and felt I could dish back better logic.
The Communist Manifesto is linked in the sidebar - good and a pretty short read.
