    Interesting. I’ve had this poster saved for future reference, heh. I think we come from very different perspectives on this issue. I think ostracism from either side should not take place on an individual basis - individual representatives of marginalized groups should not be isolated from a movement, and their struggles should be acknowledged as a part of the collective struggle. “Identity politics” is a tactic that distracts our attention from our main goals of the universal liberation. Commodification of everything is absolutely happening; and we must address this through education - informal, if that’s all we have. We do have to be careful not to push folks away. Also, I do not see any necessity in moralising people’s sexual preferences. Monogamy is not in any form advanced or a sign of a highly developed society.

      I’m not calling for ostracism and don’t care about peoples opinions on it - LGBT behaviour occurs in the superstructure of society and I’m concerned with the base. The only question that matters is “is LGBT ideology universal”?

      The answer to that question, and the conclusion a lot of communist parties have come to, is a resounding “no”.

      That without the mass consumer culture Western imperialism is used to and the hyper exploitation of the imperialised countries - who will never have access to this mass consumer culture and therefore reject LGBT ideology all the more fiercely, turning instead to their religion and traditional family ties.
