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 denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

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

Idk what you're on about, those countries are literal utopia's and respect all human rights, too bad every single western country and media organization around the world are perfectly colluding to ensure we don't see the truth! Sad. Big/s

Maybe licking the boot is bad regardless of what region the leather is from???

What if it's the boot of a goth girl?

Folks should try licking literal boots instead of metaphorical. Way more rewarding when there's a pretty person attached to the boot who's happy with you

Metaphorical bootlicking is obviously inferior by comparison >.> /j

Is this the cure to authoritarianism? Find a harmless outlet for the urge to lick boots and all this goes away.

Internet Communists ready to throw any left-wingness away (they're now anti-american as an ideology, but support far-right dictatorships)
