Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. 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.

The origins of the word comes from Marxist Leninist's (ML's) describing other ML's who supported the Soviet Union's invasion of Hungary in 7th of November 1956 with USSR troops and tanks. It describes a certain tendency as you may see. Similar incidents include the invasion of Czechoslovakia 20th of August 1968 and East Germany 17th of June 1953.
