What good are rights when you’re poor and hungry with no fucking housing?
I mean you’re not poor and hungry if you have time to argue with me on Lemmy on a Star Trek space, unless you just have really bad priorities? Also you dodged the point about private property abolition not doing anything for trans rights…
As a trans person, the outcome that would directly benefit me the most from political action would be the immediate abolition of private property
No it wouldn’t, given they didn’t have rights in the Soviet Union, which abolished private property.
I don’t really buy into tankies complaining about “the war machine” when they back Russian and Chinese imperialism. Something tells me you don’t care about trans rights when Russia directly claims to be fighting LGBTQ people in Ukraine.

So no, reality doesn’t conform to what you’re saying.
DDR was fairly progressive in the 1980s
It was less progressive than West Germany/West Berlin, and only began tolerating LGBTQ people (not granting them equal rights) after opening up more to the West near the end of its existence.
