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

It's a strong signal of pure dogmatism when they pick a fringe view about a region that wasn't even treated seriously by the Soviet Union and make it one of the core tenets of their ideology. The "Holodomor is Nazi propaganda" point still being made years after that post is like the far-right's obsession with trans women in sports. Too specific and inconsequential for an ideology for someone to just land on by chance when they think critically. All they do is regurgitate.
