1. Trotsky carried out terrorist acts in the USSR after his program was voted down following years of debate. The Soviet ppl voted to criminalize homosexuality due to a poor understanding of homosexuality, associating it men who abused boys as was common in the church (cont'd https://twitter.com/MckinleyZack/status/1337564995027144705
2. it was not a decision that Stalin could've made on his own, and contrary to popular belief, the NKVD didn't go around looking for gay people to lock up, but the law was indeed used to justify locking up men who abused boys. The way it was framed was certainly misguided,
3. but to make the USSR out to be a terrible country while gay people received far worse treatment in far more developed countries like the US in the same time period is disingenuous as fuck.
4. Also keep in mind that the USSR inherited a society that was dominated by the Orthodox Church. You think reactionary ideas die overnight following a revolution?
5. Funny how you'll make excuses for the US, but expect perfection from the USSR. If the USSR still existed today, you can bet that it'd be far better than the US concerning LGBT rights, just like how East Germany was much better than its western counterpart in this regard.
6. Look at Latin America, a region dominated by Catholic conservatism, and look at which society is the most progressive in these areas you keep citing to discredit the USSR. Hint: it's the country that was the most aligned with the USSR.
7. Stalin is better than you.
8. Inequality in the US is at an all-time high, but sure, the US is a more proletarian state than the USSR ever was because of your dumbass feelz
9. Stop jerking off to Vaush videos
