By Tyler Lyons On My Life Before Joining the Party Long before the onset of the COVID pandemic, I was struggling with my political identity. I had been disillusioned with…
There was funny thread few months ago at GenZedong, where you got your usual interview with DPRK man, then he started to say against LGBT, and the usual GenZedong uncritical support for DPRK fizzled for this one thread only, and they were like “Based… wait what? That’s surely a coincidence, how can a a man in country i uncritically support have opinion i do not uncritically support”. What was characteristic is that no discussion happened and the thread was largely ignored.
Do you have that thread saved somewhere? Id like to read it. I didnt see it since i havent used r/GenZedong since the mod purge. The new mods are rabid antiRussia and i cant stand that.
I agree, western left (more like USA left tbh, in Europe there are dumb people but not that many) is so dogmatic at times. Like they will understand nuance when it comes to authoritarianism and so on, and will mock twitter anarchists for failing to do so, but then they will do the exact same thing regarding tabboo topics like patriotism and LGBT. And i wanna make clear that i fully support LGBT rights and i think its wrong that some socialist countries oppress them. But im not gonna stop supporting them just for that, im sorry for LGBT people but imperialism is more important to address for now. They are also extremely inconsistent. This guy denounced KKE just because they are mildly homophobic, but i dont see him denouncing Iran, where gay people are literally hanged, something horrific in my opinion.
I also understand why LGBT people may feel angry towards such a policy, i feel this in my own skin. Im a drug user/exdrug addict and i believe drugs should be legalized. The way China treats drug addicts is horrible in my opinion, but im not gonna start supporting imperialism just for that!
Unfortunately i don’t have this thread saved, the issue appeared to be pretty hot back then, with accusations of “nazbols” and “patsocs” thrown around for slightest disagreement in many threads so i expected that to grow into something pretty huge, but it just fizzled and silently disappeared from sight (not removed so it still should be out there somewhere, just buried).
And i wanna make clear that i fully support LGBT rights and i think its wrong that some socialist countries oppress them.
Same here, hopefully all AES will come the same path as Cuba and i think it’s actually happening.
Edit: some idiot even downvoted me for fully supporting LGBT rights? Maybe for having slight opinion difference? Fucking liberals lmao.
“Nazbol” and “patsoc” is such a stupid meaningless word. It has lost all meaning, its just the ML equivalent of “tankie”, a bad word to smear MLs you dont like. Its even more hilarious with so called “patsocs”, who the american left attacks all the time just because they recognize that MLism is inherently patriotic. Western leftists bruh

Western left moment.
