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

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

You cannot use the state to defeat the state

How do you prevent counterrevolution without a state?

ML casually admitting they don't believe in communism, nothing to see here.

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.

Cultivate a culture where you would never require a counter revolution, where the least fortunate people's needs are met so they don't need to kill people to thrive.
