>>3974506Yeah, the USSR and CCP were more proto-feminist than anything and given to a high degree of 360-ing back to cultural conservatism, the ultimately kinda Confucian CCP especially. When the USSR fell, Russia shot far into the right over the years and has become, with Israel and the GOP, among the most important bastions of the global right wing
>old crusty commie crapGotta note, anon, class reductionism has been the in thing in Western leftism, as of late. It was kinda inevitable with the rise of the Bernie bro. Many groups of Western leftists, especially those who rose around the oppositional defiant disorder-addled dirtbag left, have taken on the (honestly funny) stance of totally rejecting liberal coalitions, and those folks tend to paint feminism and gay rights as a bourgeois excess.
Some even reject the idea that racism is a problem they need to address at the moment, which is ... honestly, really funny in 2025.
These sectors of the Western left have been kinda floundering as to how to address the Trump administration, since like, hasn't their whole thing for like a decade been that there wasn't any difference between Trump and a generic Dem president?
That schtick of theirs just don't hit like it used to is all I'm sayin
