They apparently announced they would delete all posts related to homosexuality back in 2018 but backtracked after outrage but I guess they’ve felt its been enough time that people won’t be paying as much attention now =\

              What you call “communist nations” call themselves socialist. Maybe you think socialism is social-democracy i.e. Scandinavia or some parts of Europe. It’s not, as they are still capitalist.

              so maybe that’s your issue.

              I don’t see where the issue is? I pointed out socialist and communist nations in parentheses.

                What you call “communist nations”…

                And that’s where I stopped, because you’re basing your argument on an assumption. This entire discussion is about China. Are you saying China is socialist, not communist?

                  Yes. But first let me point out that you spoke about communism in general, and not China specifically, when you said that “so many in western countries love the idea of communism when this is precisely what it leads to” – I assume what it leads to is lgbt-phobia? Regardless, this specific argument is about that exact part I quoted, that communism precisely leads to something.

                  China does not claim anywhere that they are a communist country. They only talk about socialism, because they are not yet in a communist phase.

                    Well, if China isn’t communist, then the world at large owes them a great big apology, seeing as how the People’s Republic of China was founded by the Communist Party of China.

                    Oh well.
