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

I'm pretty tired and I just skimmed them, so yeah nevermind most of those points were shit.
Take your time if you're tired, man, don't rush a response. I'm tetchy about a great many things, but I'm not going to jump down your throat for not being quick enough. Respond today, tomorrow, next week, whenever. Respond never if you don't feel like continuing.
I'm immensely irritable because I fight with people in bad faith on here about it, who try to muddy the waters and play denialist games, but if you're legitimately trying to understand - this material is out there, and it paints an immensely fucked up picture. If it's not genocide, not much short of death marches or gas chambers is genocide, and that would be... a very narrow definition of the term that most scholars - those specializing in contemporary as well as historical matters - would not agree with.
I don't give a shit about what China is doing because I don't have any lever to influence what the fuck China is doing.
You are the last person to have the legitimacy to whine about china or russia. You voted for a genocider.
