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

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?
