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

Wouldn't need to take children out of conflict zones if you didn't shoot into where children live!

It would even be "fine" if they then immediately transported them to a safe zone in ukraine, but no, they wanna indoctrinate them.

Or left the fucking conflict zone you created.

Under this line of reasoning, a rich person could kidnap the kids of poor people and then say "what, you're against me lifting children out of poverty?" Or to make the analogy more apt, do that after making that family poor first.

ICE is just protecting immigrants from racism too, it's moving them into racism-free zones after all.
