It's funny how I don't agree with Tankies, but I don't wish them any harm. And then there are right-wingers…
- what is a "tankie" to you, son?
  
  good opinion haver
  
  Love your username lol
  
  Anyone to the left of Henry Kissinger
  
  I've seen it defined as apologists for dictatorships. This is the version that I was using when I made the comment.

- I wonder if I would have responded this way if I had found out about Lemmy a few months earlier…
  Maybe read the Communist Manifesto if you haven’t read it yet — it’s not that long :)
  
  I feel like the manifesto isn't the best starting point, I've heard "socialism utopian and scientific" is but idk.
  
  state and rev is such a short and readable summary of why liberal reform is always doomed that I just recommend that.
  
  I need to get around to reading that myself to be completely honest.
  
  it's worth it. it reads like a compiled twitter dunk thread so it's very approachable.
  
  Principles of communism by Engels is a great start
  
  It’s not a bad read, but I wouldn’t suggest that alone
  
  Manifesto is an easy read, but probably not the best introduction. There was a good beginner reading list posted around here recently, I agree with their recommendation of Harman's "How Marxism Works" pamphlet. Super fast read, and can really help capture people's attention to read something a bit longer form.
  Don't always agree with a lot of Harman, but he gives a really easy to understand overview.
