Also I hate the idea that “I’m just repeating what Marx and Engels said”

yeah, that's an ahistoric and unscientific approach that treats theory as scripture.

Also also, Stalin was literally wrong about gay people. That’s it. The idea that sexuality is bourgeois decadance is literally laughable idealism and shows that even the “greats” of socialism are still prone to some brainworms.

These are some of the birthmarks of the pre-revolutionary society Marx already anticipated. Stalin was raised in a deeply reactionary, almost medieval feudal society, ofc you can expect holdovers from that which he hadn't fully challenged and overcome. Future socialists cannot allow themselves to fall back behind Stalin on such issues, which Haz with his anti-abortion stance clearly does. Stalin rolled back some post-revolutionary changes, but he never went as far as becoming worse on women's rights or LGBT rights than the Romanovs. Haz, on the other hand ...
