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

You cannot use the state to defeat the state
By not murdering people en masse to achieve change, but through slow organic growth of support to secure a mandate. It's happening, but too slowly for tankies. They want to skip all that by mass murdering elected officials and government emoyees and their families, taking power without any kind of public support outside their own faction, then having to continue the mass murdering of dissidents to hold that power.
