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

Little-known fact: Joseph Stalin invented Photoshop.

Of course, he called it Phюtфsнфp.

That's correct. And you better pronounce it properly or it's straight to the gulag.

You don't even want to know Stalin's position on how to pronounce 'gif.'

That's easy: you don't. GIFs are the enemy of the state and are all sent to gulags

I can't believe there are Stalin apologists this day and age. Even if you're a supporter but ran afoul of him, you'd be given the same treatment as Nikolai Yezhov. That is, removed from history.

Such are the ways of Authoritarian dictators.

Can someone explain for our less cultured comrades*?

*Totally not me.
