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

Makes sense why they like Putin so much, despite him not even pretending to be any sort of communist.

"Winning 105% of the vote in Chechnya!? He MUST be the True Workers' Candidate, that's what the Soviet Union taught me!"

Elections mean democracy, and only 1 candidate means you are free to disengage from politics, best of both worlds clearly /j
