Because almost all of them (not Marx) are authoritarian power hungry dictators/dictatorships? Seriously.... Is OP implying that East Germany was a good socialist country? Wtf are they on? Did the USSR have queer rights? What about Vietnam? NORTH KOREA?!!! Animals have better rights there. OP is either a fourteen year old, terminally on discord, bullied dude. If that is the case, I'm sorry. Have been there.... However, if this is not the case, then OP is just extremely extremely stupid.

So your sole criteria for freedom is if a country has queer rights? ... And you call others children?

Good news everyone, US imperialism is no more: you can marry your partner! (Terms and conditions apply)

So your sole criteria for freedom is if a country has queer rights? Well no. Many more things. Queer rights are just one of these parameters that are easily visible in my opinion. Let's talk about freedom of speech however. I can access the internet in any way that I want in Canada. Can I do that in China? Nope! Say hello to the great firewall! I can protest the government (mostly) in western countries. When I do that in China, I get run over by tanks. Tiananmen Square massacre much? Oh... is that western propaganda too now? I can make fun of Biden, Trudeau, Trump, etc. Can I do that in China?

Being a socialist doesn't mean I have to glorify any of the former/present socialist countries and ignore their problems (which there are A LOT of).

It don't mean you have to uncritically swallow state department propaganda either but here we are. You seem like the kind of socialist who wants free healthcare built on the backs of immigrant workers but don't care when your country bombs hospitals in Pakistan or Syria.

Well, I'm an immigrant of color myself. Also, I vehemently oppose the military actions of my country in the middle east. I also oppose Russian aggression in Ukraine for the same reason. Somehow, "socialists" here only agree with me on the middle east part.
