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 think a lot of people put too much stock into labeling themselves. I could probably get more specific with my identity but communist is close enough and if we need to get more specific than that we can talk about the specifics about what I actually believe.
I would consider a communist identity if it weren't for the major examples of communism in application and how poorly people were treated. Can I consider communism but reject Stalinism and Maoism?
Those were not communism, not even socialism. Just state capitalism. Yes, you can consider communism without either of those joke ideologies.
Who should I read after Marx/Angels. Anyth8ng newer?
