I was ready to die for the KFC Double-Down at one point in my life. Doubling down again is the easiest decision ever.
Historically speaking, socialists have mass murdered trans and queer folk. Just as a reminder to all lgbtq+ community members who think socialists are allies.
You seem to be confusing socialists with fascists and state capitalists.
It's understandable, fascists and state capitalists usually market themselves as socialists so they can seize power. They do this in the same way that people who want to turn the United States into Gilead claim to be interested in small government and personal freedom.
A country is not socialist simply because it claims to be socialist. You should be able to see that countries with a very powerful elite political class working hand in hand with a very powerful elite financial class to subjugate a politically disenfranchised class that makes up the bulk of the population is very far from socialist.
It seems more likely that you think that a country identifying as Marxist leninist is the only way that country can identify as socialist. You also seem to think that when a country identifies itself as socialist that makes it socialist. Korea calls itself a democratic people's republic... Obviously self-identification is not a very good measure.

Socialists seem to confuse socialists with fascists lmao

By definition it is stage between capitalism and communism, with the intention of leading to communism, which is inherently fascist. I mean you could've read a simple definition or even just the wikipedia article for that my friend.

When every single socialist government murders LGBTQ+, I consider socialism to have an intrinsic hateful angle. It's not my fault reality doesn't bend to your utopistic ideals and personal definitions.
Any other things you seem to think of me or will you continue to pretend to care about trans rights?
China's not socialist or communist regardless of what they write on the packaging. It's a hardcore hyper capitalist country It just happens to be state capitalism. Gay and trans people have close to no rights there.
The Nordic countries are socialist. They're not fascist, they're not on their way towards fascism, they're not inspired to do fascism or communism simply by virtue of the fact that they believe the government has an important role to play in maintaining a certain minimum social standard of living.

By whose definition?? You seem to be mixing up a lot of words here. Somehow you think that there's a connection or a relationship between communism and fascism and I suspect that's because many countries have marketed themselves as communist only to be fascist. Probably the most obvious identifiable feature to distinguish the two things from each other is that Communism is a far left ideology with no class structure and fascism is a far right ideology with a very rigid, enforced class structure.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

We both know you only say that because ch*na is a failed state. Like all the other socialist countries. I'm waiting for the day a country becomes socialist and somehow beats the odds and instantly doesn't genocide half its ethnic and sexual minorities in a whim, you guys'll be insufferable.
The Nordic countries are socialist.
We are not. We are social democrats. I live in one and I can safely say we use currencies to buy commodities and services in a competitive economic model. We just spend a bit more tax money to keep a wide safety net, that's social democracy, not socialism. Again, please read into the ideology you support, even if it's just the basics like "what it means". Also telling someone from a nordic country how nordics are run is an interesting strategy that just emphasizes your lack of knowledge in the things you are trying to claim.
By whose definition?
Reality. Check it out sometime even though it's kinda shit tbh.
Communism is a far left ideology with no class structure and fascism is a far right ideology with a very rigid, enforced class structure.
Someone should've made that really clear to the countless of queer folk killed by fascist regimes, such as communist ones.
You seep either misinformation or simply lack of knowledge. The fact that you present absolutely zero empathy to the victims of socialism is disgusting and frankly transphobic.
Afaik US conservatives don't support trans rights and can't stop bitching about abortions. I support the former and support right to the latter. Go for a sturdier strawman next time bud.
