Leftist idiocy rampant in the West [470]
The left in USSR in 1920-s:
- legalization of sodomy
- legalization of abortions
- removal from Church of every ounce of influence on social life
- destruction of churches and physical elimination of clergy
- removal of historical monuments
- renaming of cities and streets
- rewriting of history; painting every achievement of the past years as either crime or oppression
- sexual revolution, destigmatization of promiscuity
- feminism
- free admission of international capital in the country (concessions)
- flourishing postmodernism in "art" (Constructivism, Productivism) ("We declare uncompromising war on art!" Aleksei Gan, 1922)
- suppression of titular nation and encouraging of minority cultures
- describing titular nation as "oppressors"
- supporting national identities of minority nations while suppressing the identity of titular nation
How it is different from today?
