Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- 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

How many days until this because a commonly seen position on Lemmy, do you think?
In any case, a major congratulations and good luck to Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who won the Dem Party primaries for NYC mayor!
I would say it won’t but the problem is the last time the New York Dems undercut the progressive victory like that it was when the Republicans were willing to concede.
For the Democratic elite to try that again they would need Trump willing to endorse Cuomo over Eric Adams and the Republican Party Candidate. Something Trump is probably not going to do unless New York Democrats agree to concede to his demands, and good luck selling that to the voters
