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

The assumption that "a more unstable geopolitical order" will "weaken the mechanisms holding together imperialism" seems incredibly flawed, to put it in charitable terms.
