I'll give him this much credit; he knows all about crimes against humanity.  In fact, he's "been there and done that."

He just says whatever he wants.  If you disagree you end up in jail, if you're lucky.

Yet I see many trans accounts on social media advocating for communism. I often think that sometimes trans people just don't realize that under a communist society, they can't just say their trans, they have to apply.  And those "jobs" are few and far between; offered only to those who can yield the best results that showcase the biological engineering prowess of the communist nation state scientists.

I consider Putin more of a fascist than a communist these days.  In practice it's all bad.

To be fair, there has been only one actual communist government put into place. What the Russians and the Chinese are practicing isn't communism, both forms of government are extremely fascist no matter what they choose to call themselves.

 

Hugs!

That's what I thought too, but didn't actually finish that semester in University lol.

I think what's being referred to is my brief tenure on Twitter and I ended up following some post-modernist anti-capitalist rad trans feministists or whatever that claimed they had no actual "bodies" to be used as means to production and saw Communism as only a slightly more socially equal scenario of self-exploitation.

I eventually cancelled my Twitter.

Probably wise. It's a silly place.

Full of twits.

Yeah, Russia is not Communist anymore. I'm not sure what Putin's government is allegedly, some kind of capitalist Republic, but it's in reality a fascist dictatorship where anyone offering serious opposition to Putin ends up poisoned and dead. 

 

Don't want to be trans there.

 

Heck, don't want to be a cis woman there, lots of issues including if married your husband can beat and sexually assault you with impunity. And maybe do the same to your daughter. They have a very toxic and brutal form of alpha male worship of which Putin is their prime alpha male "idol." Or supposed to be.

Actually, Putin is a totalitarian socialist. Here is the difference between fascism and communism. I will grant both are totalitarian dictatorships and very ugly. (interestingly, there is not any historical example of either form being successful.)

 

While communism is a system based around a theory of economic equality and advocates for a classless society, fascism is a nationalistic, top-down system with rigid class roles that is ruled by an all-powerful dictator.

 

I recommend this website for a detailed discussion of the differences:  https://www.diffen.com/difference/Communism_vs_Fascism

 

I will also stipulate that neither system is friendly to the LGBT community.

Putin is a Crime Against Humanity (period. exclamation point!)

Define "success". 
Putin is a conservative capitalist that despises Lenin and Communism. Remember that the Communist Party still is, in theory, at least, the biggest opposition in Russia. I say, in theory, because they have to be pretty putinist in order to be allowed in Russia. 

Putin's ideology is close to panslavist theocracy, even though there are speculations about what his own religious views are. Like most political figures, he is definitely not the devout Christian he pretends to be, but the Orthodox Church rubs his back and he rubs their collective backs. 

Capitalism is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and in itself totalitarian. I have experienced this first hand. If some customer complains at work that you are trans, then you are left without work. Soon you do not have home, either, and live on handouts. What is this if not totalitarian control. This goes well beyond trans. Out in semi-rural Finland there was a school bus driver that was black. Parents refused their children from the bus. He lost his job. The same happened with a black person when he was hired to clean homes. If you are not living in totalitarism, you do not have to fear for everything taken from you. 

 

I have lived in two Capitalist countries. I don't think it is success, when you are unemployed and have to go beg for food from religious organizations that want to send you to their brainwashing conversion therapy camps. (I have to say to their credit, they never expressed that one to me aloud)

 

Communism is totalitarian in where if you are a criminal, you get in trouble. One of my ancestors was caught trying to exchange counterfeit money and he was taken to Solovky Islands, that's like to original GULAG, and he was killed there. Criminals wanted to silence him. Funny money gets you trouble in any economic system, and you can be murdered in prison by other prisoners anywhere.

I don't think trans people will ever be exactly safe in any political system.  We are a small minority, and most people don't (probably can't) understand us.  So we're an easy scapegoat for politicians looking for someone to blame for whatever.

I mean, are we really responsible for the imminent collapse of society?  

Transgenderism?  Trans agenda?  Get a grip y'all.
