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

@PugJesus This is what gabriel rockhill means in his book "who paid the pipers of western marxism?"

A normal person trying to exist in this world is indistinguishable from a CIA agent in their rabid anticommunist propaganda because it is necessary to not be excluded from the group.

There is a notable uptick recently in anticommunist rhetoric again, btw.

I feel like what USSR was is not exactly communistic. Even though it is now used against valid communistic points
