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

If anyone is interested in a more literal translation:
*Violate isn't what the Russian says but I'm not sure how to translate the phrase into English. It's technically "dare to dare" but using two different words; the first "dare" means something like "be brave enough to" and the second one is more like the "dare" in "how dare you" which can imply the transgression of a social norm.
Farmer! Give away weapons to the Red soldier. He will better defend you, your goods, and your land.
In the moment* of mortal peril for freedom and the revolution, weapons are hidden only by traitors and White army spies.
*Technically "minute". Also this actually says "hide weapons only traitors and White army spies" because word order is very flexible in Russian.
The OP literally translated (4) and (5).
