        Gay people weren’t murdered. The revolutionary government did continue the former reactionary policy towards gay people and imprisoned them, but this was corrected and overturned through the newly implemented democratic system. Today, Cuba is one of the most LGBTQIA+ countries on the planet thanks to their popular Family Code.

          That’s not what the OP claims. And they are not talking about today’s Cuba, so you might as well tell me how ancient Greece viewed it, equally irrelevant.

            The OP is wrong, lmao. And modern Cuba has only been a state since 1959, Batista’s regime is living memory for some. Be more serious.

              I’ve literally never been wrong about anything at any point in my life… I did just finish blackshirts and reds, thanks for the rec. I’m starting Communism: A History by Richard Pipes next. Then the Soviet Century by Lewin.
