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

I haven't witnessed any direct brigading, but I can always tell when a post or comment is from them. I like seeing radically different ideas and opinions on occasion, but it would be a lot less irritating if they would drop the "it's not my job to educate you" stance. The majority of responses to elaboration are just name calling. Honestly, that whole aspect seems pretty antithetic to communism.
Anytime I've seen anything from there, it's always been abrasive at best and outright aggressive or hostile at worst. I've started likening it to the leftist 4chan of Lemmy.
