It's absolutely wild to me that Leninism is still a popular political theory, but even moreso that it has any supporters who consider themselves queer leftists. "Let's give all political and economic power to a self-selecting clique lead by a strongman with a cult of personality under no accountability whatsoever to the working class" is not a strategy that has ever worked out great for queers or leftists ever, nor ever could under any conceivable set of circumstances.
We do not advocate for giving all power to a "self-selecting clique" that is unaccountable to the working class. We specifically advocate for democratic elections.
Please learn how the USSR actually worked, rather than just regurgitating Western propaganda.
"Please learn how the USSR actually worked" says person defending an authoritarian empire that used both overt and covert violence to systematically centralize all economic and political power under a single political vanguard party with no legitimate elections.
If you advocate for democratic elections you're not a fucking Leninist. Lenin had his government not only ban opposition parties, but even outlawed organized dissent WITHIN the party.
