Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this

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

Authoritarianism and totalitarianism are against the dictionary definition of leftism. There are countless political parties that pretend to be for democracy and even put it in their name but promote far-right politics, such as the FvD in the Netherlands or the LDPR in Russia. I don't know why anyone would accept that tankies are leftist.
