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.

East Germany was literally the most progressive country in human history in terms of queer rights. Cuba is now.

I wasn't aware of queer history in East Germany. Thank you guys for enlightening me there. I am also very happy for Cuba for the strides that they have taken in relation to queer rights.

That being said, calling them "literally the most progressive country in human history in terms of queer rights" is very dumb. Most of western Europe, Canada and even parts of the US to a certain degree are as progressive as one may get in terms of queer rights, both legally and socially.

Yeah, 80 years later. Compared to a country that has not existed for over 30 years lol. Google what Biden, Hillary or Obama thought of gay and trans rights in the 1990s.

Well, you said "most progressive in history". Which is clearly not true.

I didn't say that
