    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
