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 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.

Communism is authoritarian because it puts the needs of a social construct (a "commune" or "society") over the needs, rights and freedoms of an individual. It doesn't matter how you want to paint it, it's always authoritarian.

over the needs, rights and freedoms of an individual.

As should be the fucking case, you chimp. Otherwise, I am free to bash your head on the pavement as part of my "individual freedom".

Right, the famously Nazi Communists... can you make a single sensible remark, or is it all brain rot?

Come back when Commies start supporting human rights and freedoms.
