It’s so infuriating to see groups willing to publicly identify as ML while just having the worst, most idealist and reactionary ideas possible. Stop making the rest of us look bad>:(
This is probably why, despite constantly saying that trans rights is ‘bobo decadence’ or whatever, I’ve never seen class reductionist types criticise pinkwashing (aka imperialists saying that Muslims/ Africans/ Chinese/ South Americans hate gays so we should kill them). Like that is probably the only time where the “LGBTQ rights is a distraction/ liberal propaganda” ever made some amount of sense. But this never seems to come up in any of their examples, likely because they also see decolonialism/ anti-white supremacy as nothing more but useless race-based identity politics.
This is what Marxism without developed theories about imperialism and colonialism and world-systems gets you.

Every single “communist” I have met who is like this has been from a comfortable area of Europe. Curious.
