I always hated the Leninist model of communism.

Lenin betrayed the revolution because he lost the 1917 election.

He dissolved the newly elected assembly 13 hours into it’s first meeting. (Not that the meeting lasted for 13 hours, they had adjourned for the day, and then Lenin declared them all Counter Revolutionary)

That single act started the Russian Civil War.

Then he has the gall to claim that the new totalitarian government he formed was in any way socialist.

If the state owns everything, and you have zero say in what that state does, then you don’t live under socialism, you live under feudalism.

The only path to socialism is via democracy.

The vast amount that Lenin contributed to Marxist Theory and his vital role in creating the first Socialist State, which uplifted hundreds of millions of people and supported numerous anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements the world over, is absolutely worthy of praise.

I’m sure the Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Armenians and more resoundingly agree with this take

Idk who downvoted you but I’ve only ever really seen him be exceedingly polite. Like, he’ll get into a debate with someone who’s clearly just there to stir shit and he will quite patiently and honestly respond to their concerns.

Love or hate his political opinions, he’s just so nice it’s hard to be mad at him.

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse


What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)


Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia(Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users.

Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.

If you’re violating instance rules, you’ll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
