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.

The OP was clearly a communist from the post, but they had posted a document that included criticisms of the CCP. Tankie admins obviously could not emotionally handle the concept of CCP being anything but the good guys. Ironic they call every anti-dictator leftist "reactionary", when 'tis they who are the reactionaries.

The other day I had a discussion in a Lemmygrad post accidentally, because it appeared in !All. God, I've seen bricks more history aware than those guys. It was like talking to someone who's viewpoint didn't evolve with the past 100 years of history.

Is this the roaring twenties, from 100 years ago? Did the last 100 years not happen? Did hundreds of million of people suffer in vein and nothing was learned?

What was learned is that far right extremism is made palatable by calling it communism.
