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 received a ban for my comment on this thread, down at the bottom. That's not like way out at the margins of acceptable speech; it's literally just what I think and the reasons for it.
They're not shy about it: Saying Joe Biden did something bad is allowed, saying he did something good will earn you a ban. It's a one viewpoint instance. If you don't have any opinions that conflict with that viewpoint, then I guess that's fine, but to me I don't see the point.
The double standards are blatantly obvious, criticizing the CCP in basically any way is "xenophobia" but criticizing the US government is almost a participation requirement
