Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

"Long live Stalin!" [bang]
At some point, you have to realize that bootlickers really just love the boot that much.
Plenty of GULAG memoirs recount that most people were not licking the boot like that - the people who were already processed and in the camps but still talking like that were true believers - or true sycophants, if there's a difference in this case.
