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

Also it wasn't a genocide because they let them starve regardless of their ethnicity ☝️

"All famine victims starve equally - but some starve more equally than others" - Some pig with a Wario mustache, idk, it's been a while since I read Animal Farm

Ah, of course, the classic: “There was no Holodomor, there was famine everywhere”

I recently saw a comments from a few tankies who wrote that the Holodomor is nazi/fascist propaganda... 🤦

The latter is exactly what I was told on Hexbear.

Thanks for this, had fun reading it all. Good thing I switched to PieFed and blocked instances like .ml and hexbear.
