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

We don't talk about China unless it's emphatic and loyal support of all things they do

Imperialism and hegemony aren't the same though?

Both the West and Russia engage in imperialism, not 'just' hegemony.

You're absolutely right! Good job! I never would have thought about it since this post talks about both western and Russian imperialism. I'm so glad you brought that piece of trivia to my attention!

You don't like a little bit of western hegemony?
