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

I wish I'd see more political Eastern European posts, TBH. Not just Ukraine, but everywhere.

I am but an armchair observer, but my impression is you folks know precisely what happens under Soviet/Russian authority. You lived it. It... seems mixed. I am inclined to listen to whatever the intricacies are more than opinions from some tankie in Idaho.

That was a euphamism, heh.
