      Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin’s regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

        Friendly reminder that that was the standard at the time.

        For example, when Germany reunified lgbt people in East Germany lost all their rights.

          Oh so we’re applying the founding fathers owning slaves justification to queer persecution? Guess it’s okay when everyone else is doing it.

          Then again nevermind. I’m used to having our history downplayed by conservatives and reactionaries, including the ones that cosplay in red.

            We have no choice but to keep an even more violent system because people who tried a less violent system were sometimes as homophobic as was standard at the time in most places.

            Let us ignore the fact that the small island nation of Cuba has the best lgbt rights in the world. Let’s ignore the fact that socialism most directly helped the poorest and most vulnerable of gay and trans people with their economic equalization in ways that “progressive” dictatorships of the bourgeoisie still don’t. Let’s ignore the fact that lgbt rights in the west were won by movements full of radical queer communists, not given out of the benevolence of capitalism.

      Well everyone except minorities, Jews

      First off, sus as fuck that you said minorities and then “Jews”

      Second off, the non-Russian SSRs vote at higher rates to remain the USSR during the referendum that reaffirmed that the citizens of the USSR wanted the USSR to stay together before the undemocratic dissolution of the USSR? While there were excesses and passive russification was a problem, minorities generally liked the USSR.

    Stalin Communism is unique. Normal Communism allows the proletariat to embrace themselves and become equal. Stalin Communism allows the proletariat to embrace and become PAPA STALIN

      Yeah! Stalin brainwashed the entire population of the Soviet Union. Surely they don’t love him for helping to bring about prosperity and wellbeing in a large area of the world that was severely lacking in these things prior to the October revolution. It also can’t be because his army was the primary factor in destroying a fascist invasion. It’s amazing how so many people are so quick to dismiss the simplest and factually correct answer when it comes to do with anything related to socialism.

          Lol. Lmao even. Yeah Stalin with his big spoon ate up all the grain leaving none for the people. Forget the fact that famines were just a thing that happened back then. It happened fairly often under tsarist Russia. This was the last famine they would face because the Soviet leadership learned from it how to prevent it from happening again. Again, not bothering to consider the simplest answer because Stalin wanted to starve his own people for reasons.

          Are we just saying nazi propaganda now? It was turned into a genocide from a famine that the Soviets were partially responsible for by nazi press like hearst press. The holodomor myth was straight up used to excuse the mass killing of Jewish folks.
