i’ve read marx. at precisely no point does he say anything justifying the various atrocities state capitalist countries have committed. i think he’s wrong about some stuff, but even if you accept that his word is gospel, tankies are still just people who took leftist principles as an excuse for the imposing the kind of brutal authoritarianism that leftists are supposed to be against.
downvoting it doesn’t make it any less true :)
WFT is wrong with you?
I read books 😱😱

If you’ve read Marx, then you’ve surely read Engels as well?
