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.

Take it from a European - no it wont, we're like 2 steps behind you in the race to the bottom.
Don't aspire to have the polite facade over the dumpster fire like we do, aspire to abolish the system entirely.
Well, at least we have some variety and an actual political spectrum, that's still better than red-blue monoculture.
lol, no, no we don't..
E: not in the mainstream "ever likely to be elected" category anyway, they all serve capitalism here too
Have you ever looked at the European parliament? Have you looked at the communists and Trotskyists in some European countries' parliaments? They're there, you can look it up.
Can you even call yourself real multiparty system until you have viable Bonapartists, though?
We have anything people will vote for, for better or for worse. The same can't be said for the US or the UK, because of "first past the post".
Which country? Europe has a pretty large spectrum of policies depending where you live. On average though I'd say your standards of living are still better than what the average American would enjoy.
