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

That comm tries misguidedly to enforce left-unity, which is why it's always ending up in drama like that.

It's not misguided. It's intentionally using the paradox of tolerance to open a space for the hexbear crowd.

We have plenty of anti-tankie comms as well

Leftymemes, nominally, is also supposed to have that stance. It's the first line in the description. You'd never know it by the people that post there, the content they post, or the mods they answer to.

This is a single comm, not the instance.

You don't have a Nazi bar. The Nazis are just making a lot of noise, being belligerent to non-Nazis, and inviting more and more of their friends.

Mhm, equating online tankies to nazis is sure something...

Yeah, their flags are totally different.

As is pretending to not understand the Nazi bar analogy.

Ye It has as much impact as telling us we're risking making it a "liberal bar". It's just ridiculous.
