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 may not be the most important praxis. But it's absolutely important to keep repeating it. Like you say, here "fuck trump/Republicans" is a completely milquetoast, cookie cutter, boilerplate, uncontroversial statement. But there's no shortage of empty headed campist, that think it's okay when it's their team. The image may only depict red fash, but the language is broad and inclusive enough for them all. And if it's important enough, someone can add in depictions of Trump Musk and Thiel. It will still be as true.
