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.

Little-known fact: Joseph Stalin invented Photoshop.

Of course, he called it Phюtфsнфp.

That's correct. And you better pronounce it properly or it's straight to the gulag.

You don't even want to know Stalin's position on how to pronounce 'gif.'

That's easy: you don't. GIFs are the enemy of the state and are all sent to gulags

Can someone explain for our less cultured comrades*?

I can't believe there are Stalin apologists this day and age. Even if you're a supporter but ran afoul of him, you'd be given the same treatment as Nikolai Yezhov. That is, removed from history.

Such are the ways of Authoritarian dictators.
