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

I blame this on Ulysses Grant. As a general and then as a president, Grant should have spat on Lee's face and decimated the south, not gone easy on them. The South and anyone with this poster's views should have been stamped out and executed
Grant all but crushed the South, destroying the first KKK and implementing the first anti-segregation laws. It's after Grant's presidency things went downhill.
