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

Communist here. I only just ended my monthly donation after finding out Wikipedia is partnering with AI companies. I don't hate them.

I think OP is referring more to revisionist tankies.

We only hate tankies here, with Marx and Kropotkin both being (positively) recommended reading in the sidebar of the comm.

If you associate with the hammer-and-sickle but don't consider yourself a supporter of that kind of tankie Soviet throwback nonsense, sorry for catching you in the crossfire, but symbols often end up with multiple 'shorthand' meanings.
