So the USSR under Stalin, Romania under Ceausescu, Albania under Hoxha, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Libya under Gaddaffi, baathist socialist Syria, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all get the wall, no critical support for them. Got it.
All the other countries i mentioned (Iran, Syria, Nicaragua, Venezuela) are all modern day socialist/antiimperialist countries where abortion is banned. Do they get the wall?
I agree, i wouldnt support it either. But that doesnt mean the sandinistas in Nicaragua are now our enemies just because they are deeply christian (which they are). Thats all im saying, do you get me now?
Im not asking them anything. All im saying is that no, being against abortion for religious reasons doesnt make you autonatically an enemy of communism. You should read about the theology of liberation and christian socialism. All im saying is working class people who are opposed to abortion for religion are just as welcome in the communist movement as workers who support abortion. Sure we wouldnt elect them to the top leadership, but they are definetely welcome in the movement. Do you see what im saying?
I dont think its about womens rights for the people im referring to, i think its just a moral religious thing. For example the sandinistas in Nicaragua, while banning abortion, are still deeply feminist. They invest huge sums into helping mothers have children, pushing them into the workforce, including into leadership positions. In fact i think they have some of the best gender equality in Latin America. I too would be uncomfortable working with actual sexists, who oppose abortion because they think women are their objects. Thats not the case with the sandinistas, for them its just a moral/religious thing, so i would be fine working with someone like them. My defense was for people like the sandinistas, not for actual sexists/bigots.
