      The above argument isn't about administrative capacity to enact change, they're talking about faith in the government. Governments only accomplish things with the consent of the people who perform the relevant actions, so they have to carefully manage how much they ask of the people they need. China's industrialization project relies on both drastically upsetting the lives of people living in the countryside and the participation of those same people, so that's already a tricky situation.

      Now, does that mean that the perfectly just and free of prejudice party decided that the support of the uniquely homophobic countryside after a considered cost-benefit analysis of the need for the countryside's support in industrializing vs the needs of the LGBT community, free of any prejudice minimizing LGBT issues? Lol no.

      The comment you are replying to is just another example of class reductionism. Apparently we can't look at idpol while poor people exist 🤷

        Remembering a post on here a few days ago where the guy said that he doesn’t understand the need to use the right pronouns for non-binary people because it seems “low priority” in the face of everything else

        erroneously blamed on latin machismo when in fact it happened in the entire soviet sphere.

        I assumed it happened in ML states because (all?) ML states arose from deeply patriarchal agrarian societies.
