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

Won't change their mind but what the hell, it's cathartic.

Yep all anyone has to do is look at popular culture right now. Most of the people who Proclaim to be Libertarians can't even be consistently libertarian. To the point where honestly they're just capitalists. Then you get people on the right claiming to be anarchists as well. With similar outcomes. They're just capitalists under another moniker. If there's one thing capitalists and pulls alike love to do is double-speak/newspeak. And redefining terms to mean whatever they want.
