Kind of niche, regarding the board of the San Antonio Symphony voting to declare bankruptcy and disband rather than negotiate a fair contract with the musicians union: “I’m sure no one is to blame and that everyone tried their best to make it work.”
In no way am I trying to justify poor treatment of LGBT people in the USSR, but were there any contemporaneous capitalist states which treated LGBT people better than the USSR?
Not really, at least de facto. The USSR still criminalized homosexuality on paper while Western European countries were decriminalizing, but also they didn’t really enforce it. Problematically, it was used against pedophiles, building off the widespread, bullshit, and long-running stereotypes of grooming. That’s probably the best characterization, really: towards the end, the Soviets retained and promoted many problematic characterizations of LGBT people, but folks’ actual lives and treatment were relatively egalitarian. Capitalist states were decriminalizing and generally improving LGBT rights, but also retaining the systems that disproportionately make LGBT people unhoused, in poverty, in danger.
And also worth mentioning that if “Marxist Democrats” are gonna “enforce” a certain socialist states’ rule of law, it could as easily be thay of East Germany which was wayyyy ahead of the west on gay rights
If you actually understood what is going on, that is if you could, you would know that the hedge-fund short-seller Citadel, has more capital behind it than Tesla, from stealing pension funds by bankrupting publically held organizations using assholes like you in smear campaigns to make these predator theives even more wealthy by stealing people’s savings In investments. Because your posts have no actual intellectual substance and are relegated to basic name-calling without the ability to comprehend technology, business, and its beneficial economic impact I write you down as the basic village simpleton looking for attention.
The most notorious tankie democrats:
- AOC (Maoist)
- Joe Biden (Stalinist)
- Nancy Pelosi (Stalinist)
- RBG (Marxist Leninist)
- Kristina Senima (Marxist-Trumpist)
