Sorry Im not sure why but clicking on context provides nothing for me. Do you need me to explain what return on investment is (ROI) or is your comment regarding something else?

Bingo Im bisexual and based on history alone there is no version of socialism that has not been horrible for me except the GDR for a few years at the very end of 1985-92.

Not all communists are tankies but all tankies are authoritarian trash.

Fir whatever reason either Lemmy as a whole or my computer cannot link back to context right now. Im presuming this was about GDR not Cuba. The reforms that created the gay bars were made in 1985. GDR's LGBT+ rights progress more or less mimicked the West apart from not actively criminally prosecuting homosexuals for homosexuality a bit earlier.

The GDR had good rights between 1985-1992 and really only on paper.

The fact is in most socialist nations LGBT rights lagged behind Western capitalist nations.

Yeah Im bisexual and it blows my mind to see the LGBT+ folks on hexbear. It's as if they have no grasp on history, have no understanding of what a nation trying to have a unitary identity frequently means for LGBT+ people, and haven't bothered to realize that the nations at the forefront of LGBT rights have never included a socialist nation until last month's reforms in Cuba (much respect for Cuba in doing this).

Well that's just because he looks like he got grazed by his mad scientist father's latest project.

Some are well read and others maintain nonsense because they don't know what anything means. Many seem to not have any understanding of how things work IRL. Fir example someone claimed China was a democracy and did not understand that the central party's ability to determine who could oppose them meant that they are in fact not a functioning democracy.
