says someone who has never lived in a communist country. this is tiring.

Everytime right wingers come at me with “Communist countries have been bad to queer and trans people in the past” I’m just like… okay and how do you think fucking capitalism has been?

Sure Cuba has a cultural problem of homophobia and transphobia, but so does most of the United States. At least in Cuba a revolutionary state will make sure I’m capable of transitioning medically.

Also Lenin legalized homosexuality nearly a century before most capitalist nations. The US didn’t do so until fucking 2003, Lenin did it in 1917.

But even more importantly, the past failures of communist regimes are irrelevant to the contemporary communist movement. We are not trying to brick by brick exactly rebuild the USSR or PRC. We are trying to build something new which is informed by and honors these state projects legacies, while learning from their failure.

There is nothing inherently homophobic or transphobic about communism. Communists like Alexandra Kollontai argued against the abolition of the nuclear family and more, which would destabilize heteropatriarchy completely. Communist struggle is in opposition to capitalist notions of reproduction. It is at odds with the social structures and impulses that make capitalism inherently homophobic and transphobic.

Communism always has been, and remains, the only hope for trans and gay liberation.
