Accepting of all sexualities, genders , and races with a dumb fuck hammer and sickle. What alternate reality do you live in where the USSR was accepting of these?

This is more taking the piss out of people who say anyone left of centre is "radical left".

That's NOT about URSS anymore, that symbol is the most famous symbol of communism, so it's used that, but it's NOT indicating the URSS

[-] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Correct. It's a universal, internationally recognized symbol to which the USSR doesn't lay sole claim.

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

AFAIK the USSR was the first country to implement communism and it exported it to others. The hammer and sickle originates from them.

So anyone romanticizing those symbols and claiming that this flavor of communism was open to different sexualities, genders, religions, races is extremely ignorant.

It is liberalism that is accepting them, the communism that we had so far is just the other extreme compared to fascism.

Fake, Marxism never had these issues to begin with, simply no one implememted marxism, i wouldn't even say that those other ideologies(stalinism etc etc) are communism but whatever

the joke is that any person nowadays who is being civil and decent is being called socialist

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Exactly this. Seems like a lot of people romanticizing communism never lived under it.

In practice it is the other extreme compared to fascism.

[-] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

Yes, I'm a communist, and I radically stand in the opposite extreme of fascism. Thank you for the compliment

[-] shish_mish@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

No but Jugoslavia was very accepting and till it fell apart it was pretty good at being socialist.
