    Luckily, the TRUE party of the people never gets less than 99% of the vote 🙏

      Soviet Citizens were able to vote for representatives to represent them in the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, which was the legislative arm of the Soviet Union. The elections in the Soviet Union would be held every 4 years for the citizens to go to the polling station and vote for a single candidate. These candidates who were going to be elected for 4 years were approved by the Communist Party themselves and were the only option on the ballot.

      Lol. Lmao even.

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.

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

Kropotkin’s Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx
