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 only know him vaguely by reputation as a tankie talking head and Holodomor denier, and it looks like his Twitter account got deleted (and Wayback doesn't have the tweet, though search engines still show it). Unfortunately, nothing that has been historically said by Stalinists, however deranged or outdated, surprises me out of tankie mouths.
