The June 4th incident is what it is called in mainland China.

There are a lot of western narratives about the June 4th incident that are atrocity propaganda contradicted by western reporting at the time of the incident

Killing is different than winning. For example, the nazis killed 26 million Soviets, mostly civilians. That is roughly 17 percent of their population. The US killed something like 20 percent of the population of Korea. Both lost.

She could say "most effective" but she said "most lethal"

Hiking, socialist work or socialist socializing, friends, that's mostly it

Idk I crush on a lot of folks, I'm also in a long term (polyam) relationship.

Whether or not rejection is a part of life or healthy in the long term it is going to be bad while you’re experiencing it

Why?

when seeing the object of your affection with someone else could arguably be unbecoming since you’ll want the best for them but it’s about ad human as it gets.

I tend to feel compersion over envy

Neither is bad.

But instead we are arguing the semantics over whether a man should take responsibilty for his own bigotry or whether the entire global leftist project should bear that burden for him.

I'm not having that argument? I am sort of confused as to why you think I'm making that argument?

I think you're continuing to read me as appealing to pragmatism when I am instead appealing to learning from people who he respects on why he is personally wrong on the issue.

I would once again ask you, what specifically do you want to happen? If you're having a hard time articulating it, I would suggest looking at the constructive criticism handbook. https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-3/constructive-criticism.html?ref=redstarcaucus.org

Man is a person. He answers to a community. He’s not actually a party official of the revolutionary guard and you and I are allowed to demand better.

Demand better from him than providing free gender affirming care and legalizing gay marriage, affirming other alt family structures, proactively having a country do pro-lgbt education to root out cultural bigotry like in Cuba? I'm am somewhat confused by this statement? What does demanding better here look like?

There can be no allyship with someone who understands our experience purely through the lens of political opportunism.

Do you think all pro-lgbt measures done in socialist states to be about political opportunism? Because in Cuba it took a multi-decade effort while struggling against the influence of the catholic church and colonial-legacy machismo culture to expand lgbt rights to the point that they're better than the US

"Slaves obey your masters" that one or a different one?

In some contexts but it is broader than that.
