Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

- One of your ancestors, 500 years ago.
You put words in to my mouth. Hence, why I think people don't think outside the box. The human brain still operate from millenia old evolutionary instinct to think in heuristic and what they have been accustomed to.
I'm confused. Did you reply to the correct comment? Because the only person into whose mouth I put words is one of IrateAnteater's 500 year old ancestors, and I don't think you are one of them.
Turns out my ancestor was right, since monarchies and other theocratic governments very much still exist.
