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

You can definitely trust those same people to run a capitalist system instead.

Why does saying one thing doesn’t work, mean I’m a lover of the thing you hate? Why are you an extremist?

Y'know it's possible to dislike 2 things at once?

Classic whataboutism.

That's a false dichotomy, there are other options than textbook communism and unregulated capitalism
