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

Rules:

  1. Be civil and 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. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

No no, you see, China hasn't invaded or oppressed anyone because the reactionaries they did it to deserved it.

Did you see me talk about my favorite new Tankie justification? The Jews Stalin put in the gulags deserved it for the same reason the Nazis did it to them: they were radical Marxists.

And yes, this was a Tankie, not just someone promoting the Nazis. They were talking about how either everyone Stalin sent to the gulags deserved it or it was a lie that they were sent there at all.
