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

I mean people still listen to your phone calls even in western countries and egg is looking to become a luxury item.

Well you are comparing one totalitarian regime to another. The US is no longer a „western” country.

Nah, it totally is. Being western isn't signified by "Good Values" it's signified by its location on the map.

And cultural-geopolitical factors.
