Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

I like to challenge ideas.
What "ideas" are you here to challenge? This is a libertarian socialist community that is against tankies, if you don't fit that criteria then this isn't a good place for you.
I like libertarian socialists, I might be one myself. I just think that the word tankie gets thrown around a lot. If everyone (I don't like) is a tankie, no one is.
Let me put it this way; If Bernie is a sexist (and he was called sexist many times from different groups of people), then everyone can be called a sexist, and the word has lost it's meaning.
I feel you may have misjudged this group then. That is part of why I made this post to try and get a consensus as to what the people of this community define as tankies and it is surprisingly consistent for something that you claim has lost all meaning.
