General left of center demonization. This person is lamenting the pattern that will likely continue that consists of things less left than communism (in this case, socialism) being treated as equally “scary” or “nefarious” as communism, in the McCarthy era Red Scare definitions of scary/nefarious (unless I’m misreading, but that seems to be what’s happening here)
Oh i get what you’re pointing out now, yeah, it is kinda weird to just assume all leftists are pro-lgbtqia.
It seems like every combination of person, no matter how seemingly contradictory vibes-wise, exists in some form or another lol
Like it’s weird, I am doing the same lumping pattern that I know I shouldn’t be in the same breath as acknowledging that it’s weird to do that pattern lol cognitive dissonance is weird when you notice it…
I’m talking here in general… If you watch the socialist governments, they support the LGBTQ community, whereas the right governments, because they’re religious don’t support the LGBTQ. So, all the socialist governments like Mexico’s, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, etc are in cahoots with Russia and they say because Russia is Socialist.
not that it is, but even if it was, what does socialism have to do with this?

i read it as suggesting that in socialism there would be no discrimination of lgbt people

I mean it was prevailing communist theory in Stalin’s era that being queer was “bourgeois degeneracy”
Meanwhile Lenin decriminalized it. Castro did both.
If by “did both” you mean for 20 years sent queer people to reeducation camps before ultimately decriminalizing it when Mariela Castro was 17, sure.
