This may be radical, but two things can be bad at once (US imperialism and the imperialism of anti-US countries).

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

MODERATORS
This world view got me banned from c/progressivepolitics
The moderation there is extraordinarily campist, unfortunately.
Reminds me of my Alex Jones leftist friends from 20 yrs ago following him to the right. Or the Nazis and Jewish moms from Marin at the same anti vax rallies during COVID.
There's a dude who keeps posting all the "multipolarist" sources and I hate them. That's like most of my issues with the community, probably didn't delve deep enough
What is that? Not familiar
Multipolarism? The ideology that posits that in order to eliminate imperialism, we should limit the US and let Russia and China play a part too. If it does sound weird and stupid, that's because it's what Russia only says so they can also do imperialism. It has nothing to do with reducing imperialism (ever heard of maybe letting neocolonialised countries just rise up on their own? Or... just limitng all empires altogether?) and everything to do with ensuring Russia can also do it.
