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

it absolutely breaks my heart, because I have family in Israel, and whenever I talk to them they are crying about why would Iranian be so cruel, and also super happy and joyful that they kill as many Palestinians as possible. don't talk to them often, and I can't understand, they are in Israel, they see the same things I saw when I was there, why can't they get past they 24/7 lifelong propaganda like I did?

I really hope apartheid falls, and they get to live in a free democratic country, and be grumpy that their racist asses have to be free in a country where everyone is free. I hope the apartheid they support collapses before they get kill by it.

not asking you or anyone to empathize with them.
