        …when their propaganda talking points started unironically referencing “the sin of empathy” they crossed the line into balls-out cartoon fascism…

      Since they put hammer and sickle (the symbol of communism ) I would argue the acceptance of sexual orientations, religions, genders, races etc was also a problem there. It is liberalism that accepts it.

      The claim about everyone being treated equally is also not completely true. I mean, in theory, yes, in practice whenever communism (especialy the one exported from USSR) was implemented some people were “more equal” than others.

        Cuba reformed its constitution in 2019 to boost queer rights, and in July approved that people can change their gender legally just by personal request.

        Sure, some socialist states of the last century were backwards in that regard, like the USSR, but you gotta keep in mind that in 1930 80% of the country were literally uneducated peasants who worked the land with their own hands.
