It’s not worse than anywhere else (actually Cuba seems pretty good on that? One of the few places. So it’s not ml’s in general), but I do not feel welcome.
Again, I recommend listening to queer Chinese citizens. As you pointed out, Cuba is one of the world’s most progressive states, and that’s because of Marxism-Leninism’s liberatory nature. In China, it’s already far easier to be poor than in the US Empire, and is easier to be queer than many areas in the US Empire as well. Life is improving both generally and with respect to LGBTQIA+ rights. Currently it’s more of a divide between the young and the old, with the passage of time China’s queer rights are expected to continue improving.
Cuba is not ‘new deal with Chinese characteristics’ though.
You’re comparing things to the us empire. As if that makes it good. My apartment is cleaner than the inside of a septic tank, so I’m a good housekeeper.
Cuba proves its not a tankie problem. Its a ‘these fuckers in charge’ problem. Or maybe you’re right, and all Chinese people are just bigots who like being censored and copped at, which seems fucking weird and implausible but idk you’re the expert.
Cuba is a socialist economy like China. They have a private sector like China does, but public ownership remains the principle aspect, like China. Cuba is an example of why Marxism-Leninism is a liberating ideology.
I have never once said “all Chinese people are bigots who like being censored and copped at.” That’s a ridiculous statement. The older generations are generally homophobic, and the younger generations are more progressive, and as these demographics change the laws are following suit. That’s why you need to listen to queer Chinese citizens. Secondly, Chinese citizens appreciate that censorship is levied against capitalists and that the police uphold the socialist system, which is a necessity in socialism where class struggle is very much alive.
Really, most of your confusion about China could be resolved by just listening to Chinese citizens.
I’m queer too, why don’t you listen to queer Chinese people and what they think? Conditions have been steadily improving for them.
