The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk

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

Seen it on reddit several times. They infiltrate lefty spaces and try to take them over. db0 has been very tolerant of their bullshit so it's only logical they would migrate there to avoid the stigma of having ml attached to their name. Actually I think I tagged a db0 user yesterday for this shit.

Nvm it was a wtf account, coincidentally also a month old. Also a down vote in the 30 seconds it took me to check. They're camping this thread lol.

The vibe check is pretty useful to know of someone is just trollbaiting

It can be but not always true. My older world account has about 35% vib check, but it's because I kept arguing it either tankies or other dumbasses on other topics.

Partially my own fault though.
