"Well, everybody except for political dissidents, minorities, Jews, anyone who openly disagrees with me, and anyone I suspect of privately disagreeing with me".

Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin's regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

Friendly reminder that that was the standard at the time.

For example, when Germany reunified lgbt people in East Germany lost all their rights.

Oh so we're applying the founding fathers owning slaves justification to queer persecution? Guess it's okay when everyone else is doing it.

Then again nevermind. I'm used to having our history downplayed by conservatives and reactionaries, including the ones that cosplay in red.

We have no choice but to keep an even more violent system because people who tried a less violent system were sometimes as homophobic as was standard at the time in most places.

Let us ignore the fact that the small island nation of Cuba has the best lgbt rights in the world. Let's ignore the fact that socialism most directly helped the poorest and most vulnerable of gay and trans people with their economic equalization in ways that "progressive" dictatorships of the bourgeoisie still don't. Let's ignore the fact that lgbt rights in the west were won by movements full of radical queer communists, not given out of the benevolence of capitalism.

Well everyone except minorities, Jews

First off, sus as fuck that you said minorities and then "Jews"

Second off, the non-Russian SSRs vote at higher rates to remain the USSR during the referendum that reaffirmed that the citizens of the USSR wanted the USSR to stay together before the undemocratic dissolution of the USSR? While there were excesses and passive russification was a problem, minorities generally liked the USSR.
