"How dare it acknowledge atrocities!"

I love Wikipedia and donate every year
Communist here. I only just ended my monthly donation after finding out Wikipedia is partnering with AI companies. I don't hate them.
We only hate tankies here, with Marx and Kropotkin both being (positively) recommended reading in the sidebar of the comm.
If you associate with the hammer-and-sickle but don't consider yourself a supporter of that kind of tankie Soviet throwback nonsense, sorry for catching you in the crossfire, but symbols often end up with multiple 'shorthand' meanings.
I think OP is referring more to revisionist tankies.

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
