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

But that doesn't make much sense.

Did the majority of the instance vote for this rule, or was it only the people who actually showed up to vote? Because if it's the latter, then it's not very representative, is it? Wouldn't the fact that many comments criticising the use of GenAI, which directly inflates AI and tech companies and the worst that capitalism has to offer, being removed show that it's not a clear majority, and you should revote?

And even when, why would anarchists vote when you've shown yourself to be draconian? When you remove and ban random users for random reasons. Isn't one of anarchists core beliefs that voting means implicit agreement with the state? With you being the state in this example.
