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 or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

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

Wow, those mental gymnastics. If there were an Olympic category you'd fit right in. Russia, the aggressor. Did everything they could to avoid war? Besides not starting it of course. I may just be an anarkiddy, but damn this is hilarious.

Russian-speaking people were really oppressed in Ukraine and even killed. Proper investigations and punishments of the perpetrators were not carried out. I'm sorry, you'll hardly understand me.

Oh, well, why didn't you say so? That absolutely justifies killing the women and kidnapping the children. Not.

Of course, Putin is such a caring and sensitive guy. Lol. Absolutely not known for having people who disagree with him assassinated. LMAO. Just good old misunderstood uncle Vova. He's really a great guy if you just look past all the murder and war.

My brother in Marx, this shit stopped being hilarious a century ago. The fact that you all so easily and repeatedly fall for the same shit every time. Just because someone is technically an enemy of the West does not make them an ally of the proletariat or you.

They really weren't, a lot of Ukrainians inside and outside of Ukraine keep talking Russian. Not because they like Russia, or because "Ukraine doesn't exist", but because any language is just a way to communicate. But Russian propaganda tries to tie language to political views.
I speak English, but I don't give a fuck about UK or it's king. How is the situation with Russian, which is less popular in comparison, but still an international communication language in many places around the world, any different?
