Yes, we've learned that defense from Nazis and reactionary agitators is key to the success of any left-wing movement. That's why the Socialist Gun Club and John Brown Gun Society are gaining members.

It's sad that we have to protect ourselves, but as the poem goes;

First they came for the communists...

Because that's how it always goes. The favorite targets of the right wing reactionary; communists, LGBT+, the marginalized, and anyone else who doesn't quite fit into their capitalist hierarchies.

The capitalist must use violence to enforce those hierarchies, or else people will ignore them, because money is just something we all made up. It's not real.

Actual wealth is much deeper than money, it's time, it's effort, it's people's lives, and people don't want to slave away to make some other asshole richer, they want to live together in open communities where they can just live for themselves and raise a family.

Capitalists robbed us all of this, and communism is the push to get it back.

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

Welcome to MoG!


Meanwhile On Grad


Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!


What is a Tankie?


Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of biased source)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.

You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
