Tbf if devs were not "tankies" this would just be another for-profit app selling data to ad companies and offering support in government cencorship, no?

Bruh, there are a great many other forms of anti-capitalism than throating boots with a thin coat of red paint.

So you're saying I should thank them while they shovel differently colored lies down my throat?

Alright dude, whatever you say — I'm gonna keep flinging shit at them.

Is being a tankie a requirement to create an open source project? Didn't know that. I guess Linus Torvalds is a communist?

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 or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

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
