    i have no idea what the argument here was or if they were wrong or right but he didnt just pull that out of his ass nor is it a homophobic term (i’ve only ever heard it from gay people before)

      interesting, thank you. I still think his usage of it is homophobic, because criticism of Stalin is not automatically homonationalism and the rest of the comment definitely is absolute bullshit

        i mean the [ml/tankie/whatever term you like] position i see expressed often is that criticism of Actually Existed Socialism is always western chauvinism, so if it's a criticism along queer-liberatory lines, then by that definition it's homonationalism

              Oh right I get it, thanks. Sure, criticizing the SU for not being instantly perfect isn't constructive, but it wouldn't have cost them anything being a little less homophobic
