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 and rational, leftist discussion. (shitposts are fine, but please keep it sat-sunday. You won't get banned or removed though)
For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

i wrote this in this thread but basically we use the term "critical support", meaning we dislike modern russia in general but support its current goals of pushing back US influence.
this helps us because every time the US interferes anywhere that isnt the west, we end up much worse off than before. this can be for a variety of economic and political reasons, but we generally call it imperialism or neocolonialism.
my own country was interfered with recently and we are still reeling from it.
