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.

When most leftists say 'human rights' though, they mean the general concept, not international institutions.
True. At the minimum, it's a good way of agitation. Telling a stranger "housing is a human right" for example will pull more people into your movement than telling them "rights are a bourgeois concept and written law (as opposed to community mediation) will never be just but always reproduce existing hierarchies"
