Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- 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.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

The globalization you're describing is desirable, the globalization we got is a different one.
The world economy is becoming more and more capitalist, "free" trade agreements are bringing workers into competition with workers on the other side of the globe. Meanwhile nationalism and hate seem to be just as pervasive as before "globalization". War is being waged, fascism is on the rise.
The globalization we got only benefitted the rich and powerful.
Globalism intertwines economies, allowing us to put pressure against wars without putting boots on the ground.
This would require a massive amount of recent history to be disregarded.
