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.

Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.

Okay you've got me... what does it stand for? Hadn't given it any thought really, just thought it was a top-level domain that they picked at random.

ML stands for marxism leninism, the predominent tankie ideology, all the admins are marxist leninists as well.

I guess I never connected the dots there. I knew about the devs what with their profile pics and the lemmy.ml about/description, etc.

However, I think there's a world of difference between being a Marxist / Leninist and being a Putinist.
