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

I’m saying it’s strawmanning because I am on hexbear frequently that’s called a tankie hive, I read .ml posts and comments which is called a tankie hive, I see users quoted that are called ‘tankies’ but rarely does anyone else even agree with them

That is a big fat lie. And you know it.

It really is my experience, link me to or screencap what you consider a 'tankie' post.
