Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. 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.

They just going to pretend Imperialism didn't literally criminalise homosexuality everywhere it went?
All this mental gymnastics and somehow they end up at painting imperialism as significantly more progressive than it was (in the eyes of non-bigots of course).. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Imperialism, to tankies, means the present state of things, not the colonialism of the 19th century.
