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.

As someone who knows nothing about Eastern Bloc history, what was wrong with the Romanian military in the 1960s?
Better to read about Causescu than the military itself. He was a monster. After he was finally deposed, he was convicted of genocide against his own people in a Romanian court because he was responsible for over 60,000 deaths.
The military was one the many tools in his arsenal.
Holy fuck. Props to your best friend's dad; not enough people have the principles to follow through on something like that.
