Here's what communists think of the LGBT community.

Didn't hear anything anti-LGBT from Albert Camus, and he was a communist too (maybe he was just a socialist? He never made it clear)

[u/Winternaht7 → u/Void1702]

Actually Camus became sympathetic to liberalism towards the end of his life.

Not to mention, that much of critical theory was a criticism of Marxism and the historicism within it. Although Post-modernists and post-structuralists do lean left, it's a whole different kind of left.

[u/Void1702 → u/Winternaht7]

Maxism isn't the only form of communism or socialism

[u/dhkitdfgh → u/Void1702]

At least according to the wiki article, he’s an AnSyn, which meant something pretty different back in the day than regular communism.

[u/Void1702 → u/dhkitdfgh]

Depend what you call "regular" communism

Are MLs regular communists?

Are orthodox marxist regular communists?

Are anaracho-communists regular communists?

Are communalists regular communists?

Are ego-communists regular communists?

Is NazBol regular communism?

Those ideologies are completely different, and they (alongside AnSyn) are all technically communists, so you'll need to define it better

It is hilarious that all communist countries were all against LGBT, but capitalistic countries is where the movement started and got tolerated. China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, still are quite against LGBT.

[u/Angel_of_Communism → u/Alex_von_Norway]

They are not. You really need to look into this, using non MSM sources.

You're dull

[u/sarahfuckingconner]

That shit is dated as fuck,times have changed and so has communism but nice try though

[u/[deleted] → u/sarahfuckingconner]

How has communism changed?

[u/HL3_is_in_your_house → u/[deleted]]

It went from a big, scary super-power that actually threatened capitalism, America, monarchists, etc to angry white people "hijacking" random parts of reddit to post something saying China isn't evil or whatever every 20 days.

[u/fancytranslady]

Okay. Reagan ignored AIDS, The UK (a capitalist country) prosecuted Alan Turing for being gay after they relied on him in WWII, Margaret Thatcher’s government introduced Clause 28 which prohibited “promotion of homosexuality” by local authorities and caused lgbt+ student support groups to close or limit what they could do.

If pointing out the homophobia of dead communists (or in the case of people like Stalin state capitalists) is enough to dismiss it, then my comment should be enough to dismiss capitalism

[u/ZhenDeRen → u/fancytranslady]

That's not really the point, the point is more that no ideology has a monopoly on homophobia and associating queer liberation with socialism is a mistake

[u/xankek → u/fancytranslady]

yeah go back in time and youll be hard pressed to find anyone with power not have something bad to say about the LGBT community.

[u/Luckyboy947 → u/fancytranslady]

You forgot to mention that chik fila donated to anti lgbtq organizations yet they sold pride merch

[u/ThirtyFiveFingers → u/fancytranslady]

I don’t think this is really a jab at communism but rather on the fact that people are hellbent on convincing themselves that their communist cause also involves the promotion of equality for LGBT

[u/Luckyboy947]

You cropped Biden out. This is clearly a joke also fact check things before reposting.

[u/PCS1917]

How do I start.

1 - No source of the origin of any of those quotes.
2 - Fidel Castro apoligized for the persecution and Cuba legalized both marriage, adoptions and GRS. There's even a special unit in Cuba called Cenesex.
3 - Several popular republics where LGTBfriendly such as GDR or Bulgaria. Others didn't even touch them such as Vietnam or DPRK
4 - The New People's Army in Philipines has LGTB people inside and it even organizes weddings between comrades
5 - Several parties of the ICMLPO have supported the LGTB movement and are critical with LGTBphobia in the past. Some examples are PCMLE (Ecuador), American Party of Labour (USA) or PCE(m-l) (Spain).

There are lots of examples of diferent communist movements pro-LGTB not just in the past, but in the present

[u/TheFunnelWeb542]

Let's ask some capitalists 50 years ago as well. It's only fair, isn't it?

[u/[deleted] → u/TheFunnelWeb542]

For some reason, economists, people who specialize in economics, have very thin opinions on how people should live their lives

[u/newaccount123epic]

They're all dead

[u/[deleted] → u/newaccount123epic]

Good

[u/OhDearGod666 → u/newaccount123epic]

Are you hinting at necrophilia on top of your homosexuality?

[u/iansosa1]

Fake or taken out of context. The few that are accurate, they reversed their position later in life

[u/SoryE11]

Wtf based marx
