Except it hasn't been. I absolutely get Marx and his concepts of socialism but they are of a time and flawed.
What do you think about #lgbtqia and gulags?

@mrjonno every human society is flawed, that's the reality.

The claim that Marx is somehow out of time gets repeated often, yet if you actually read Marx then you'll see that his writings are very much relevant to our time and what's happening in the world today.

And I have no idea what gbtqia has to do with communism to be honest.

@mrjonno I must also assume that you're entirely unaware that GDR was a pioneer of many lgbtqia rights?

@mrjonno you were trying to make an argument that human rights violations somehow stem from communism, yet the reality is that communist countries have some of the most progressive laws in the world

@yogthos
I'm interested to understand what you think progression is.

Yogthos replied to mrjonno

@mrjonno what Cuba and GDR accomplished, curious why you keep trying to make a nonsensical argument here

Thing is. I get where you are coming from. The Russians who had it good to rely on a state to provide just as Americans relied on the 'dream' did/do so in ideological ignorance.
You seem to think #humanrights and #science nonsensical. I assume you dismiss Nikolai Kardashev as a great Russian too?
