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

Yes, but:

Christianity is a threat to human rights and social progress

Hell yeah, fuck the patriarchy, no gods no masters!

Islam is a threat to human rights and social progress

GTFO, bigot!

That's cause nobody really defends Christianity in Western nations, Murrikan racists and European conservatives just use it as one of the symbols. So it's safe to attack.

While Islam is a religion actually having millions of motivated cutthroats whose conscience is formed by a book telling them they can break any word given to an infidel, kill and rob an infidel, rape an infidel, and all that is glorious and their right. That any land that was once conquered by someone Muslim is land of Islam.

See, that Jewish thing about a piece of Levantine land being given to them by God and them being a special people, - Muslims have a similar view of the whole world. All Muslims are one nation, nation of Islam. All land Muslims have laid their claim on is Muslim land.

Yet the Jewish and the Christian things are treated with ... distrust, while the Muslim thing is just ignored.

While I must say it's very unpleasant to talk to those young wolves looking at you with their thinly veiled feeling of supremacy, certain that their civilization is on its onslaught and ours is receding. That they are masters coming for what's theirs. That it's their time coming.

OK, there are thousands of kinds of Islam (not sure I'm exaggerating, I can't name a hundred, but probably), this thing I'm saying refers to your typical Sunni not knowing shit of most of these too, with some unholy Salafi-Nazi mix in their head, of the very kind saying Jihad doesn't mean what it means and the negative stereotypes of Islam are all wrong, but complaining when Muslims massacre minorities somewhere is bigotry, against Islam and you are a bad person.
