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

I saw one of them claiming China was more LGBT friendly than the use the other day and it took me a second to process that they were being completely serious.

After hearing what China did to the Uyghur (sp?) people, this is not surprising at all

They believe that’s a hoax.

I wish they'd just go to China by themselves so we may never hear from them again.
