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

Imagine someone using the same "that was stupid therefore they deserved the punishment" logic with another country attacking some US facility...

To be honest, every time I hear about someone coming to the US in the last year and getting fucked over, my first thought tends to be, "how can you be so stupid as to visit the US now of all times?"

I'm not thinking they deserve it, but I do tend to think anyone who visits here is asking for it.
