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 only tankie beleif I have is Mao was based for killing all the landlords

And that's it, all other authoritarianism is cringe.

I also hate rats, flies, and mosquitoes, though

Mao's mistake was that the sparrows are not to be trifled with. Sparrows are good comrades o7

Yeah I fully agree. He gave them a chance to let go and if they refused, they were gone. If my landlord had the same question forced upon him, I know his answer and I would not weap for him one bit.

Whataboutism against whataboutism is much weaker than you could go
