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.

Social Autocracy, oh wow that's a new one on me. They're just brutal dictatorships with a shiny veneer.

I call any dictatorships that barely does anything more than the Baltic states, while calling themselves as "socialists".

I think it gives them too much credit. They might give you housing but they'll kill you in the middle of the night because someone gave your name to stop the torture.
