        lol originally I had the spacing between “queer” and “rights” as well as “are non-” and “negotiable” not be as big, but it was hard to read when they were on the white stripe. Alas. sadness

        Under the Allied occupation, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment regardless of time served in the concentration camps. The Nazi version of Paragraph 175 remained on the books of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) until the law was revised in 1969 to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over the age of 21.

        The allies marched gay people right back into the camps they liberated. LGBT people have been getting shit on for a long time, it’s disingenuous to act like it’s somehow specific to communists

        That’s a GDR flag (also known as East Germany), at the time the GDR had some of the best LGBT rights in the region.

        What does Stalin have to do with that? Not every communist symbol is Soviet. Please actually bother to do some basic research before responding.

          I love that the lore for the GDR’s state funding of gay culture was a bunch of Stasi dorks sitting around a table going “gay people are a huge security risk because if NATO discovers them they could be blackmailed with the threat of being outed.” And then someone is like “well what if we just normalized homosexuality and funded gay culture, periodicals, clubs, discos, and made it safe and encouraged for them to be out in society?” And all the stasi people are like “brialliant!” Coming to the right conclusion in the most bizarre way.

          Makes me think about how easy it was to turn US spies and intelligence agents because they always had housing or medical or gambling debt so the soviets could just offer them cash to cover the problems their salaries didn’t.

          Cuba is actually cool, I’ve thought that for a long time. Of all the Communists I think Castro did it best, and he made life measurably better for Cubans. I cannot say the same about the Soviet Union or the PRC.

            I’m glad you’re supportive of Cuba. Thats a good step in the right direction. But I can’t agree with you about the USSR or PRC because while they both made humongous missteps quality of life on average measurably improved for citizens of both countries, and there are many statistics that show that. I’m more critical of both countries than most people here (I won’t even BEGIN to defend population transfers in the USSR) but I would still definitely argue against the idea that those countries didnt make “life measurably better” for the majority of their citizens compared to what came before those country’s respective revolutions.

        If we’re going to talk about random other socialist countries, Cuba has covered all costs of medical transition under their nationalised health service since 2008
