Please stop criticizing any state until you have the power to abolish it.

Bow about 2 parties?

Communists that you find on internet are not just 13 year olds from america, there is a world out there you libs/conservatives from americkkka. It is really funny you guys still make this joke. Communists comes in different age, colour, from different countries. It is not a phase in the life of rebellious children from your country. So please don't come here to infantilize us.

He is just ticking boxes to things that does not need much conviction to show that he is a radical at the same time being a reactionary in all the immediate social and political issues.

As art is something which is not mass produced and inturn unique, is it more valuable according to LTV or is it outside the scope of LTV?

Even as a joke stating that Stalin can willy-nilly put someone in gulag is only strengthening the myth of Stalin the dictator.

There is not enough hate towards family guy. Its jokes and cutway gags are disturbing, fuck their ironic racist jokes, it was never funny and never will be. I use this time to say, fuck Sacha Baron Cohen. You shit Zionist, who disguise his Islamophobia in ironic bigotry.

USSR AND LGBT

Contrary to popular belief,the USSR did not have any anti-LGBTQ laws.

Article 121 was designed as an anti-pederasty law. If you look at the law text,it mentions or at least implies pedophilia.

To quote The Sangha kommune:

Article 121, despite its curious reading, appears to have been designed to protect Soviet society from the menace of child abuse and paedophilia, although it is recorded that Soviet academia was interested in the practice of homosexuality from a medical perspective, and attempting to ascertain its root cause (with a number of early Soviet researchers following the Czarist assumption of aberration). This did not mean that homosexuals were persecuted – far from it – the general underlying trend in the USSR was to end all oppression, and facilitate the integration of the individual into the collective.

Stalin himself wasn't homophobic either, Georgy Chicherin,a known Homosexual Bolshevik,was a close Comrade of Stalin.

At one point, Chicherin announced that he wanted improved relations with foreign countries to encourage investment,this policy was enthusiastically supported by Joseph Stalin,and he said this:

"it can hardly be doubted that Comrade Chicherin is better informed about the mood in foreign investment circles that any of us" - J.V Stalin

There's no evidence that Stalin was homophobic in any Russian language text

There's no objective, verifiable evidence of a persecution of homosexuals in the USSR

To quote Sangha Kommune again:

Research By Adrian Chan-Wyles PhD

The fact that the Soviet Union was considered enlightened and tolerant demonstrates that these laws were not applied as a deliberate attack upon homosexuals – although in the 1930’s, certain homosexual activity became associated with specific counter-revolutionary activity. In this regard, homosexuals who strove to bring-down the USSR were treated as ‘criminals’ – just as their heterosexual colleagues. Soviet records demonstrate that Joseph Stalin... was responding to various police reports about contemporary counter-revolutionary activities (usually within major cities). ACW 5.1.2016

Modern (capitalist) Russia has now imported much of the anti-Soviet Cold War disinformation fabricated by the US (and her allies) between 1945 – 1991. As a result, many modern Russian authors side with the reactionary forces of capitalism and adopt this pseudo-history as their own (apparently not realising its ‘racist’ anti-Slavic nature). The above article is anti-Soviet and is designed to give the impression that the USSR carried-out a continued pogrom against homosexuals – even though its author continuously states that there is no evidence to support his claims. Indeed, the only evidence the author can muster is ‘Western’ Cold War authors whose work – as pieces of official fiction – contain no Russian language sources. However, I have quoted this piece where I have been able to verify the facts within Russian language sources. It remains informative on two counts, 1) as a narrative history of homosexuality in Russia from early times to present, and 2) as a study of modern (Russian) anti-Soviet literature. I have found no objective, verifiable evidence of a deliberate persecution of homosexuals in the USSR. ACW 29.10.2018

Hope this helps.

Intellectuals of (not just) America always wrote extensively of the dangers of popularism, be it about politicians inside or outside US. They act like they are talking about Trump, hell no. The Hueys, Allandes, Chavez were their target. These populists jeprordize the perfect democracy of the elites. Caesar was the despotic populist, his killers was the democracy loving angels. These myths are written and rewritten again and again.
