Thanks

Sorry Im not sure why but clicking on context provides nothing for me. Do you need me to explain what return on investment is (ROI) or is your comment regarding something else?

Bingo Im bisexual and based on history alone there is no version of socialism that has not been horrible for me except the GDR for a few years at the very end of 1985-92.

Not all communists are tankies but all tankies are authoritarian trash.

Fir whatever reason either Lemmy as a whole or my computer cannot link back to context right now. Im presuming this was about GDR not Cuba. The reforms that created the gay bars were made in 1985. GDR’s LGBT+ rights progress more or less mimicked the West apart from not actively criminally prosecuting homosexuals for homosexuality a bit earlier.

The GDR had good rights between 1985-1992 and really only on paper.

The fact is in most socialist nations LGBT rights lagged behind Western capitalist nations.

Yeah Im bisexual and it blows my mind to see the LGBT+ folks on hexbear. It’s as if they have no grasp on history, have no understanding of what a nation trying to have a unitary identity frequently means for LGBT+ people, and haven’t bothered to realize that the nations at the forefront of LGBT rights have never included a socialist nation until last month’s reforms in Cuba (much respect for Cuba in doing this).

Well that’s just because he looks like he got grazed by his mad scientist father’s latest project.

Revanchism?

Stonks?

Some are well read and others maintain nonsense because they don’t know what anything means. Many seem to not have any understanding of how things work IRL. Fir example someone claimed China was a democracy and did not understand that the central party’s ability to determine who could oppose them meant that they are in fact not a functioning democracy.

Except many of the communists on some instances call everything that isn’t their brand of authoritarian communism “fascism” which isn’t how things work IRL.

To avoid crazy right wingers go to exploding heads and block the top twenty or so posters. Now all the authoritarian dipshits Im hearing from are at least coming from a better place than the auth right.

Every fourth one is saying we should defederate from Hexbear

They are a PMC that is trained by and acts on behalf of the Kremlin. This would be like claiming Blackwater had no ties to the USA.

Meanwhile Putin is a fascist and fascists everywhere from Trump to Orban are echoing Russian talking points.

Just because you are an authoritarian doesn’t mean you should support fascism.

They aren’t part of the government they just are regularly hired by them, are staffed at the top levels with Kremlin loyalists and carry out the Kremlin’s goals.

Suuuure they totally aren’t Russian.

Again Putin himself is advocating fascism and all the fascists seem allied with Russia on this issue.

Maybe you are completely confused what fascism is? After all you are mentally deficient enough to buy into Leninism.

You mean like the founder of The Wagner Group? He has SS logos on his neck. It’s almost as if both sides have some fascists but only Russia has one in the highest office.

Zelensky is Jewish ffs.

Lol, says the one supporting the actual overt fascists

No Ukraine was invaded because Russia wants Ukrainian resources. It is why they have invaded SO MANY other nations.

Russia’s imperialism is obvious and undeniable. Authoritarians will always back other authoritarians I guess.

Last I checked I didn’t. I don’t support the GOP. I’m not a fan of Putin or frankly any Russian government. I’m not a fan of Ukraine’s government either but they were clearly invaded as a result of Putin’s imperialistic desires.

Now if you support the GOP or the Kremlin you might be allied with fascists. There is a weird history of fascists being supported by Marxist-Leninists
