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

Are they all just going to lie and say Russia won anyway? Or will they just cry for these poor Ukrainians who are now part of Ukraine again? It's so hard to guess what is going on in their minds.

Probably something along the line of "AMERIKKKAN TROOPS INVADE AND MASSACARE ETHNIC RUSSIANS IN RUSSIAN DONBASS"

They will do what they have always done: Lie by calling themselves left, praise dictators and whine about "the evils of the west" or NATO expanding.

And we do what we always do and what is objectively correct: Laugh even harder at them coping, roping and seething over their boy Putin loosing and ruining his country.

I can't wait to remind them for the rest of their lives how much of a failure this was for them, as anyone should.

While I agree, the expression "Roping" kinda feels off considering what it implies.

I'd rather not make fun of suicidal people >_>

"Mighty Russia would have won the war, but the evil Westoid regime fueled the Jewish-Muslim Ukrainian Homosexual Nazi Drug Addicts with their patented Amerikkkan bioweapons."

The “Jewish” part aged like a fine wine, the American far-left now openly endorses antisemitism. They’re even arguing that all Israelis are “settler-colonialists” (they clearly have no clue about its actual history and just assume it was all like West Bank) and that DA JOOZ in the West use the banks for “exploitative capitalism”

“NOOOOOO the Amerikkkan Imperial Core(TM) just helped Ukkkraine(TM) win with their capitalistic imperialist fascist liberal gay Jewish-Isntreal(TM)-settler-colonialist interference, now all those poor Ukronazis(TM) will never be free now that The Empire (NATO) wants them! I hate my country so much, we are so imperialistic! How many Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Belarusian, Cuban, Venezuelan and Palestinian dicks should I suck to atone for this?! AND RUSSIA JUST HAD A COUP AND IS A CRINGE DEMOCRACY LIKE THE EMPIRE NOOOOO THEY’RE GONNA UNBAN PRIDE PARADES EEEEWWWW”
