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

MLs are no more scientific in their approach than the fucking Nazis were. Saying "IT'S OBJECTIVE REALITY" loudly and repeatedly might make for good propaganda to the braindead, but it's not much of an actual argument. And, for the record, the ML disdain for even basic precepts of Marxism does not make them particularly appropriate heirs to Marxist thought.
