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

A fact that can't be stated enough. It was figurative and philosophical speech. Not a literal call to dictatorship as the D-students of history keep proclaiming. It was a call for the workers to rise up, not to empower a new vanguard bourgeoisie. And repeat the cycle of oppression. But to become ungovernable to all bourgeoisie. And only answer to themselves. To dictate their own terms.
