    Always remember that the USSR was ILLEGALLY DISSOLVED

    Remember, kids, if your constituent population of dissatisfied proletariat is going to dissolve your oligarchy, JUST SAY NO! The population LEGALLY cannot dissolve you without your consent! (or even WITH your consent, according to some)

      It wasn’t the population though, it was the CIA who were singing there. The population wanted a new Stalin /s

      Wait do they actually say that? Didn’t the USSR constitution explicitly state that member “republics” had the right to secede from the Union?

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
