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

"Calls Stalin a person of color" is a new one for me. Basically all of these require some mental gymnastics, but that one is extra wild.

Also, there's a joke about "We can't deny the USSRs accomplishments" and "Holodomor denial" being on the same bingo card but I can't figure out how to phrase it.

That's just confusing ethnic minorities with people of color, or not really knowing what term "Caucasian" means (with additional implication of Georgia being exactly in Caucasus).

You missed one! "The most cutting insult they know is 'deeply unserious person'"

I thought it was "liberal"

Wow y’all really got the “tankies” with this one.
