Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

Das Kapital is honestly tedious enough that I never managed to finish it.
I would recommend The Communist Manifesto (of course) and Theories Of Surplus Value (if you have the stomach for economic theory) from Marx; Socialism: Utopian and Scientific from Engels; The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories, and Workshops from Kropotkin.
Critique of the Gotha Programme is fascinating, but requires some familiarity with late 19th century German politics.
There are a great number of shorter-form articles Marx wrote in his lifetime; Marxists.org has them too.
