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

Am I missing a joke here? Isn't this like every gofundme in the US?

So China is as bad as America? Okay, I'm fine with that statement.

China is worse but the USA is sure speedrunning to beat them.

In healthcare we can agree the US is horrible.

China is nominally socialist and nominally has free healthcare. In practice things look more similar to the US, though.

Is their social credit score super low?
