Flight from History? The Communist Movement between Self-Criticism and Self-Contempt

Putting the text here also!

“When John Parsons, a Canadian researcher, published his 10-page report in 1989 on gays and lesbians in the GDR, he wrote from the vantage point of six previous years of research. “Back in 1983,” Parsons recalled, “the lesbian and gay subculture in East Germany was still very much underground, although not illegal.” But, he explained, “By 1989 things have changed dramatically. Public displays of homosexual affection remain rare, but gay liberation has made significant and surprising progress in a short period of time. Not only is the gay subculture in the early stages of coming aboveground, but the process of liberation is now developing with the active support of the Communist Party. Lesbians and gay men, communists and non-communists alike, are exploring anew what sexual liberation means in a socialist society.” He stressed, “The public discussion of homosexuality now being promoted by the Communist Party is one in which homosexuality is finally recognized as a natural aspect of sexuality and society.” The lesbian and gay movement in the GDR debated whether to develop an autonomous community or integrate into society. The leading view of the movement and the state, Parsons reported, “is one in which autonomy is not set in conflict with integration. Lesbians and gay men have a need to meet together for personal, cultural, and political reasons. Their ability to collectively discuss and decide their views on their oppression and needs is an important step in enabling the society as a whole to address the issues. “Integration, however, is also seen as a positive goal–not an integration in which lesbians and gays hide their identity, but one in which their unique identity contributes to and changes the whole.” Parsons reported these gains without glossing over the problems that still existed, bringing great sensitivity and objectivity to his observations. He noted for example, “The Communist Party itself is not a monolithic institution. There are millions of members with various views on sexuality and sexual politics, and it is no surprise that different views should win sway at different times. “But,” he added, “what is striking is that the Party has moved so quickly from a position of, at best, benign neglect to one of clear advocacy for a reasoned, humanistic and in many ways radically progressive position.””

This site isn't even full of petite bourgeois artists who make any kind of minor supplementary income from art, it's filled with amateur hobbyists who falsely have delusions of grandeur of being an artist despite only being a fandom doodler.
