Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and 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. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Didn't Marx say to run over the proletariat with tanks if they oppose the state right before he drank the hemlock, or am I misremembering something?

Marx's ideal government structure was something more like the Paris Commune: a progressive, socialist commune with feminist, communist, and anarchist influences.

It lasted two months.

It lasted two month because the gouvernement de Versailles (3rd French Republic) decided to kill people en masse. They killed so much it was called la semaine sanglante.

As Marx once said, "One-man management [is] the most important principle of the organisation of socialist economy."

Wait, no, that was the Soviets, my bad
