There's about 150 years of communist literature and "thinkers". You could try being a bit less disingenuous.
@Spag Basic proof of inteligence is being able to abstract. Communism like any ideology has certain axioms and their application yields certain results. You are stupid or disingenuous.
If you require the most basic level of reading to understand, here are some quotes from Wikipedia (since you probably read the first paragraph) on Marxism:
"Influenced by the thought of Karl Marx, Marxist sociology emerged in the late 19th and early 20th century. As well as Marx, Max Weber and Émile Durkheim are considered seminal influences in early sociology. The first Marxist school of sociology was known as Austro-Marxism, of which Carl Grünberg and Antonio Labriola were among its most notable members. During the 1940s, the Western Marxist school became accepted within Western academia, subsequently fracturing into several different perspectives such as the Frankfurt School or critical theory."
"Marxist aesthetics is a theory of aesthetics based on, or derived from, the theories of Karl Marx. It involves a dialectical and materialist, or dialectical materialist, approach to the application of Marxism to the cultural sphere, specifically areas related to taste such as art and beauty, among others. Marxists believe that economic and social conditions, and especially the class relations that derive from them, affect every aspect of an individual's life, from religious beliefs to legal systems to cultural frameworks. Some notable Marxist aestheticians include Anatoly Lunacharsky, Mikhail Lifshitz, William Morris, Theodor W. Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin, Antonio Gramsci, Georg Lukács, Ernst Fischer, Louis Althusser, Jacques Rancière, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Raymond Williams."
"Marxist education develops Marx's works and those of the movements he influenced in various ways. In addition to the educational psychology of Lev Vygotsky[62] and the pedagogy of Paulo Freire, Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis' Schooling in Capitalist America is a study of educational reform in the U.S. and its relationship to the reproduction of capitalism and the possibilities of utilizing its contradictions in the revolutionary movement. The work of Peter McLaren, especially since the turn of the 21st century, has further developed Marxist educational theory by developing revolutionary critical pedagogy,[63] as has the work of Glenn Rikowski,[64] Dave Hill,[65] and Paula Allman.[66] Other Marxists have analyzed the forms and pedagogical processes of capitalist and communist education, such as Tyson E. Lewis,[67] Noah De Lissovoy,[68] Gregory Bourassa,[69] and Derek R. Ford.[70] Curry Malott has developed a Marxist history of education in the U.S.[71] and Marvin Gettleman's examined the history of communist education.[72] Sandy Grande has synthesized Marxist educational theory with Indigenous pedagogy,[73] while other's like John Holt analyze adult education from a Marxist perspective.[74] Other developments include the educational aesthetics of Marxist education,[75] Marxist analyses of the role of fixed capital in capitalist education,[76] the educational psychology of capital,[77] the educational theory of Lenin,[78][79] and the pedagogical function of the Communist Party.[80][81] The latest field of research examines and develops Marxist pedagogy in the postdigital era.[82][83][84]"

>So tell me what he application of those ideas, to this day, meant for gay and trans people
The same it meant for the workers, nothing. They are just a means to an end.
You are about 100 years in the past.
Why didn't revolution happen in the west and why didn't USSR turn in to Real Communism
? Why was Marx wrong? Leftists asked those questions and came up with a few ideas as a cope while shifting away from Marx's "scientific" materialist approach:
The capitalists maintain a cultural hegemony that keeps the workers in a false consciousness and keeps them from enacting a revolution (family is a part of that). Then they realized that focusing on the workers is fruitless because they are in reality a conservative counter revolutionary force, so they shifted their attention first towards students and "ghetto population" and later started adding the various "oppressed" identities.
The woke aren't the Marxists of the late 19th/early 20th century. They are neo-marxists with postmodernism mixed in.
Shit like queer theory, offshoot of critical theory, a Marxist school of thought, are fairly new additions.
Chomsky (still alive btw)
1. Capitalism is when anti-gay makes pollution
2. Capitalism is also when anti-trans makes pollution
Or do you prefer Stalin?
1. Capitalism is when american hippies that don't make revolution
Mao:
Socialism is when the peasants are gay
Guevara:
Socialism is when africans are trans
Hoxha:
Socialism is when anti-stalinist gay people build bunkers for trans people
Posada:
Socialism is when trans communist aliens
Trotsky:
Socialism is when gay people kill cis people
Kropotkin:
Socialism is when gay people have bread
Seriously, tell me a single communist author who says "communism is when gay" and not "communism is when workers take their lifes into their own hands"
