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, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Yep. In general I do not like the current government. However, do keep in mind this government is a direct result of a coup orchestrated by the US and Britain. We like to oust communist / socialist governments for right wing autocrats.
What's the socialist non authoritarian government that was ousted?
They are probably talking about this:

I am too tired to explain why this influenced the 1979 Islamic revolution but it is not the main cause. Also it's not that you guys are interested to hear my side of the story.
Not a socialist, so I guess they were referring to somebody else. Thanks for trying though
