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

The end state of communism. It's a nice idea don't get me wrong, it's just ignorant.
I would strongly disagree that it's impossible. There's significant evidence of societies operating at or near a position that can reasonably be described as communism.
My point of contention would be whether communism is more desirable than socialist workers' democracy, the supposed intermediate stage, rather than whether it is possible.
The desire for a stateless, moneyless society correctly identifies many of the problems of states and money, but often glosses over what problems states and money themselves address.
This is more so what I mean, and I agree with you completely on this statement.
