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

is it a genocide? Absolutely not.

"On the scale of" is irrelevant. It's a genocide or it's not, and China is absolutely attempting genocide against the Uyghurs. That makes the post genocide denialism whether you feel like admitting it to yourself or not; the rest of us have eyes we don't so easily ignore.
