Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 week agoYes, it includes Nazis, the White Army, capitalists, etc. Gay people weren’t executed, the punishment was 5 years imprisonment, which is still awful but was better than other countries at the time. Calling me “murderous” for supporting socialist countries is laughable when you make shit up, lmao.

The mask is the “no we totally don’t want to murder people…except these people we decided should be murdered 'cause they’re Kulaks.” The quiet masky part is the "actually murder is good when I dislike someone.
And forgive me, I was confusing Cuba executing gay people for the USSR, small whoopsie, and I’m sure none of the USSR gay people were worked to death in a gulag during their bid, nooo never.

The capitalist farmers, little more than slave drivers, decided to resist collectivization by setting fire to their crops, murdering workers, fighting the Red Army, and killing their livestock, which ended up creating famine conditions. There wasn’t a widespread order to “kill all kulaks,” but there was widespread killing of kulaks that decided to violently resist having their mechanisms of slave-driving taken away.
As for Cuba, they didn’t have a widespread execution campaign of gay people, either. Gay people were fined, imprisoned, and sent to re-education camps, a fact Castro himself has apologized for and maintains that it was a great injustice committed by the revolution. Homosexuality was de-criminalized in 1979 in Cuba, and today Cuba’s Family Code is among the most progressive in the world, far surpassing the US.
You really have no clue what you’re talking about, otherwise you wouldn’t be praising the Russian equivalent of the US confederacy nor would you be speaking of Cuba as though it still persecutes gay people like the US does today. As a queer person myself, this “rainbow imperialism” nonsense coming from you only serves to support the US Empire. Without the Cuban Revolution, gay people would likely still be persecuted just as they were under the fascist slaver Batista regime, a practice ended by the revolution and the dramatic equality it stood for.
I am not going to shed any tears for slavers, nazis, fascists, or the bourgeoisie as their property gets redistributed. There’s no “mask” there, that’s standard leftism of all stripes.

No, he said it was a horrible crime, Cuba decriminalized homosexuality in 1979, then went on to become one of the most progressive countries in the world for queer people today. Cuba didn’t execute masses of gay people, nor did the USSR, you’ve made shit up on both accounts. That’s all anti-communists do, really, your little gesture at the end I mean.
