Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin's regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

[+] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Friendly reminder that that was the standard at the time.

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

Fucking wrong again you tankie parasite. Decriminalisation of Homosexuality:

France 1871 - Canada 1969 - Australia 1984 - New Zealand 1986 - West Germany 1968 - United Kingdom 1967 - United States 1962 (Started and varies by state).

So again you are full of shit you tankie shill.

parasite

Just call me untermensch, I know you want to you scratched liberal.

The US nationally decriminalized being gay in 2003. Fuck all the way off with US 1962.

I know there are no tone indicators over the internet so you missed the exaggeration so I'll say it again without the initial exageration- east german lgbt people lost a lot of rights during reunification

[–] rbhfd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll bite.

What kind of rights did they lose?

The only thing I can find is the equal age of consent for same-sex relations vs hetero relations: 1988 in DDR and 1994 in Germany post unification.

Seems like a stretch to conclude that communist states were more LGBTQ-friendly based on this 6 year difference.

Look into which countries allow same-sex marriage. The only communist country that allows it now is Cuba. They legalized it almost one year ago!

That being said, communism vs capitalism is an economic discussion. It doesn't necessarily say anything about social issues.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They straight up had state sponsored gay bars and there was a massive state sponsored education campaign on lgbt people. During reunification they also lost massive economic gains, along the same line as what "why women had better sex under socialism" talks about.

Economics issues and social issues can't be isolated. Homeless queer youth are affected by economic policies.

The only communist country that allows it now is Cuba. They legalized it almost one year ago!

Tbf marriage isn't as much of a priority given what rights marriage grants in Cuba. Cuba has been doing SRS for free since 2009 and has sponsored massive education and anti-bigotry campaigns. Gay marriage is important but not that important compared to a bunch of other issues.

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.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

disability

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa calm down with the russophobic, sinophobic, orientalist, reactionary liberal rhetoric, pal. The preferred term is "antisocial parasite".

[+] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

Did you not know? There is even a Wikipedia article on it, although it messes up some of the context.

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
