Liberalism is also associated with things like the abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, LGBT+ rights

Communists had to pry these concessions from liberalism with organized violence, don't pretend like liberalism did these things.

You quoted me, then immediately misquoted me. I didn't say what you think I said.

Sorry should have phrased it as "people shouldn't pretend..."

Honest question: when did communists use organized violence to abolish slavery? To win LGBT+ rights?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

A lot of radical abolitionists were communists

The lgbt liberation movement would wave the flag of the legitimate vietnamese government during the US invasion. Marsha Johnson, Leslie fienberg, communists.
