That wasn’t real communism. Everybody’s equal under real communism.

Hetero people would get executed too!

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 28 points 6 months ago

They did. Not just the hetero men, but the hetero women and hetero children too!

Yes but not because of their heterosexuality. It was usually nationality, ethnicity, religion, being "counterrevolutionary", or just because someone like lavrentiy baria didn't like you

Or you didn't clap long enough at Stalin's speech.

Or you clapped too long at Stalin's speech

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 23 points 6 months ago

Would be surprised to find out that Lavrenty Beria liked anyone

[–] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He seemed to like those children quite a lot.

Mans really did get the whole ass Soviet Union want to mob kill him, rightfully.

Isn't counterrevolutionary a catch all term, including heterosexuality?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

It's only used for enemies of the people

Real end-game communism is a stateless, classless society

Nobody would be executed under real communism

[–] null@slrpnk.net 44 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Real end-game communism is functional, stateless, declarative, reproducible, and defined in a single configuration file.

cant have state, money, or class if everyone is dead >:3

Imagine I posted an image of Stalin tapping his forehead because I'm too lazy today to create one

People can be executed under Communism, though ideally the death penalty would be abolished, with rehabilitation being the focus. The state in Marxian terms is the apparatus within government by which one class oppresses others, a classless society can have a government. Marxist Communism was always envisioned as a Socialist World Republic.

This is why Anarcho-Communism and Communism are different, along with strategy.
