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

I think the Russian conception of Nazi is literally someone who threatens Russia. The rest of the world focuses on the totalitarian ideologies and anti semitism, Russia largely focuses on just that they were against Russia.

Yep. Just like the US definition of socialist/communist/terrorist

Don't be silly, Wagner's people were in Ukraine way before the Russian "special military operation" started... there were actual (Russian) nazis in Ukraine... and look, a year and a half later, Russia finally managed to kill their leaders!

(I'd say /s, but fuck if it ain't the truth...)

Ya, Russians would have to rub their two vodka soaked braincells together real hard to realize no entire country has been ran by true Nazis in a while.....
