As a queer person (agender) with a conservative dad, I don’t get why he says he wants to go back to the 1950s. What was so special back then besides his reasoning that times were simpler? I feel like it would be harder for me then as a queer person.

You want to see enemies, so you picture me like one.
Tell me one country that absolutely without doubt was able to improve the living standard and bring masses of people out of poverty, which is not China.
I am not a fanboy of China, but I respect that whatever they are doing in the last 30-40 years, because it works. Even through a biased Western lens it’s hard to deny that they are extremely successful. But China does not count. They drifted away from pure socialism right after Mao was done. The legacy of Mao is not that great. Both Stalin and Mao mainly produced repressions and famines.
And where is the rest of the “socialist block” which is supposedly successful right now, and not an authoritarian corrupt backwater? I know what you’ll say. The evil West has torpedoed everything everywhere. That’s too convenient.
I read the Capital, did you?
Don’t you dare telling me I hate the left.
I just dislike people who think they have found the ultimate answer and love their answer more than other people.
Economical and organizational structure is a tool to manage societies, not a fucking religion.
please engage with reality, my man. i don’t want to “see” anything. the us have been killing and invading for decades all around the globe. my country was couped by it (and that doesnt narrow it down).
and yes china’s living standard improved in an unprecedented way since the revolution. they are not the only ones, btw, socialism does that.
the only reason i can think of for this detachment from facts is you don’t really care about the fascist status quo.
i mean its not you in the receiving end of any physical, psychological or economic violence.
