Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

Can we not blame gay Jews?

Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony

Please stop using term 'communist' in context of progressive far-left socialism.

Communism is totalitarian oppression. Every time you mention communism, you mention Stalin, you cannot separate communism and gulags.

The communism as envisioned by Karl Marx never existed. The closest thing to Marx communism right now is Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, with their over-50% tax rates and hyper-socialist policies, and they sure as hell do not call themselves communist.

using term 'communist' in context of progressive far-left socialism

Really?! I made a ridiculously tongue-in-cheek comment, but of all the vile implications of blaming a single minority group for destroying the world, this was your rebuttal?

It wasn't a rebuttal, I'm being pedantic about a technical term.

The joke about Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism is funny to English-speaking audience. People who actually experienced communism know there's nothing fully automated, luxury, or gay about it. There was some Space, but it was done more to show'em dirty capitalists than to perform big scientific discoveries, and capitalists didn't care all that much about communists' posturing, it was more about science.

Off the mark, sure, but he's not incorrect.

and hyper-socialist policies

The Nordic Model isn't really all that Socialist. It's based on strong welfare and labor rights, but also very much on the free market. The most Socialist country in Europe is probably France

Well, France is France. Revolutions is their national sport.

Also bureaucracy and public ownership

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Wouldn't public ownership be Sweeds' national sport?

No. Get back to us when you tossers can get your story straight. Until then, bugger off.
