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

Luckily, this isn't a competition and it's okay to hate all genocidal tyrants equally

Yeah, I mean, the numbers are just an indication of how much opportunity they had to massacre people.

It's not like there's a big ethical gap between someone who will kill 5 million and someone who'll kill 10 million. At that point, you'll just keep going until someone stops you.

Seems like there was a competition at the time though with how bad they all were!
