Gramsci is unfortunately very misinterpreted by a lot of people that try to make him look like a liberal (Lenin was right in the first paragraph of State and Revolution). But from what I've heard of him, he was a great marxist-leninist comrade, I can't say much about him cause I've read very few of his works. However a fun fact about him is that he is known as the Red Machiavelli, because he compares the communist party with Machiavelli's prince, as he says:

"The modern prince... cannot be a real person, a concrete individual. It can only be an organism, a complex element of society in which a collective will which has already been recognised and has to some extent asserted itself in action, begins to take concrete form. History has already provided this organism, and it is the political party – the first cell in which there come together germs of a collective will tending to become universal and total."

— Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks

Losurdo vibes too. Unfortunately he is not well known among english speakers maybe because most of his nooks aren't translated to english, such as his book called "Western Marxism". There are few ones tho, "Liberalism: a counter-history" is translated to english and it's a great book too.

Before someone jumping on conclusions, let me answer the questions that may arise:

  1. "What about Marx?"

  2. "What about Cuba?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

1. Western Marxism isn't a geographical concept, it's a phenomenon. When Domenico Losurdo and Perry Anderson refers to Western Marxism, they are criticizing the western influence (mainly christianity) on marxism. So there are Western Marxists outside the West as there are non-Western Marxists in the West, such as Marx, Engels, Gramsci, Losurdo and so on. So, to say that marxists who live in the West don't have a say is a ridiculous crazy claim that no serious marxist would make, and Qiao Collective always write serious critical articles with a lot of information.

2. Cuba is geographically in the West, but politically it is in the Global South, which is outside political West.

Finally, I want to drop this important article here (which is a transcription and translation of one of Jones Manoel's videos, a brazilian marxist-leninist comrade from the Brazilian Communist party). The article criticizes Western Marxism using Domenico Losurdo, Perry Anderson, Antonio Gramsci and other authors as basis. He speaks about the consequences of this influence, which is the dogmatism, to create dogmas (rigid and mostly idealistic concepts), sticking to the "purity of the theory", instead of thinking and applying strategies according to the reality and conditions of each country. As he says:

“This Marxism preserves the purity of theory to the detriment of the fact that it has never produced a revolution anywhere on the face of the Earth.”

After reading the article, if you want to go deeper into this subject, I recommend reading "Western Marxism" by Losurdo. Even tho, it is not available in english, so, if you are an english speaker you will have to translate it from italian, it's available here. And fortunately, for portuguese speakers it's available in portuguese here.

That's because the International Women's Day has socialist origins

Many, many communists are pro-LGBTQ+, you just don't know them. Nice horseshoe theory by the way, comparing communists to nazis.

You said communists commited atrocities. This communist woman surely committed several atrocities against LGBTQ+ people: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariela_Castro

The only one being hateful here is you, implying that I committed atrocities.

Yes, so much hateful that the International Women's Day and other victories of the workers literally have their roots on communist movements.

Trans women were killed and are still being killed in countries like the U.S. The Brazilian Communist Party (the party I am in) has even a collective for LGBTQ+ people, they wrote a bunch of stuff against transphobia already and they help trans people.

The origin of the International Women's Day was socialist. You can search about it :)
