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 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

I wish I'd see more political Eastern European posts, TBH. Not just Ukraine, but everywhere.
I am but an armchair observer, but my impression is you folks know precisely what happens under Soviet/Russian authority. You lived it. It... seems mixed. I am inclined to listen to whatever the intricacies are more than opinions from some tankie in Idaho.
mixed my ass
That was a euphamism, heh.
