Death is a preferable alternative to communism
If I write what I’m thinking, my comment might be removed for encouraging violence.
The uwuification of barbarism.
This is jut weaponizing queer struggles and rights to further imperialism, and last time I checked that actually made queer life worse. Also, once again, all we have to do is look at Cuba.
This post reminded me about how queer movements in “enemy” nations seem to be co-opted by the west and its very disappointing.
Yeah, pinkwashing definitely. They’ll use this as a cultural wedge until the rest of the world ends up on the same page, after which they’ll happily throw these communities under the bus.
Are they taking the piss? They literally did the meme. “More trans fighter pilots”.
I think they are, it’s too on the nose.
Buuut I know some people see trans inclusion in war/imperialism to be a good thing.
This could be a play on that?
LGBTQ+ lives have only ever improved under LIBERALISM

The psycho-endocrinologist Professor Aron Belkin, a pioneer of Soviet research into transsexualism, even carried out sex-change operations without conducting any psychological testing or employing any other sort of psychological expertise—not because he didn’t want to do it; the country simply had no literate psychologists or approved tests to aid him.

While there is no academic literature on transsexualism in the Soviet Union, there are journalistic accounts of the first sex reassignment surgery in the Soviet Union. It dates back to as 1972 and was performed by the Latvian surgeon Viktor Kalnberz. In published interviews Kalnberz emphasizes that the surgery was performed with substantial medical knowledge.
It was not as groundbreaking as it might appear from the first glance. By that time, the topic was discussed in medical circles. He also confirms that he was familiar with the fact that a similar surgery had taken place in [the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic] and some information about it was available to him.³ Kalnberz’s account suggests that by the time he performed the surgery, a discourse on transsexualism already existed in the Soviet region and CEE. My research supports these claims.
And I have to add that saying that ‘LGBTQ+ lives have only ever improved under LIBERALISM’ while their liberties are in decline and constantly under assault in the imperial core only makes the author look incredibly blockheaded. This is like shouting ‘I’m the greatest lifeguard of all time!’ when everybody can see that you just let several kids drown.
they simply lied for the meme
Friendly reminder that the only parties friendly to the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft and their proposed policies were the KPD and SPD, and that the Institut occasionally housed members of the Comintern. Socialists have been at the forefront of queer rights since the beginning. And even though the state socialist experiments of the 20th century largely fumbled the ball when it came to queer rights, the GDR got it right in their final years, only to have it all completely undone by the
successor to Nazi GermanyFRG. Queer Germans have still not regained the rights they lost when the FRG annexed the GDR over three decades ago.Also Cuba
Yes! Sorry for the omission. It kills me that their reforms happened after the socialist bloc fell. Cuba’s and the GDR’s reforms would have likely promulgated throughout the socialist world given enough time and would have been a counterbalance to the false association of queer liberation with liberal “democracy.”
While it’s regrettably true that a lot of socialists states could of been a lot better in regards to LGBTQ rights, a socialist state that emerged out of a population of agitated, miserable, exploited, undereducated, deprived people is still going to be more socially progressive then materially comparable non-socialist states. It’s easy to be a paragon of moral progressive values when you exists within a privileged environment where exploitation is outsourced to invisible people far away.
No way this is serious. Gotta be a plant right?
It seems that reactionaries think trans = anime catgirl
Like, those two have nothing to do with each other
Some phobic cop had to have cobbled this together on a Thursday afternoon, mind a million miles away.
All those anime are overrated anyway
