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

It's also cute that a bootlicker who believes that Russia was 'provoked' into performing genocide in Ukraine came in here with the same two links they've been trotting out for years, one of the two pre-dating the Russo-Ukrainian War, to 'prove' that there's no sympathy for Putin in tankie circles, despite those same links also being filled with people throating Putin for not being an evil Westoid NATO Puppet. Especially considering how pro-Putin tankies have gotten since the Ukraine invasion.
