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.

Feudal or non-capitalist elites, or pre-'imperialist' capitalist bourgeois (ie oligarchies as liberal capitalist democracies would disdain them).

This is the most mental effort I've put into understanding a meme in quite a while. Still worth it, though.
