I do like Starlight Glimmer, she’s a cute pony like all of them, however the hype in the brony fandom about her being a, quote “communist” is heavily misunderstood. As a long standing communist of Marxist-Leninist philosophy, I can say from experience of my study that she is not a communist. Communism is not only equality, nor is it to the extent that Starlight Glimmer expanded it to, justice has to be involved to organize and regulate the proper flow of order and equality. Along with this her total and utter unquestioned control is not anywhere supported in communist philosophy, the communist ideology welcomes criticism and self criticism especially, to deny that is to deny bettering the party and individuals.
you’re a strange man. to the question “what kind of communism did you live in?” you respond with insults. I don’t see the point in trying to communicate with you, since you are so “offended by life”
I wonder what kind of communism did you live in?
Interesting! Glad to hear it
Essentially, no one cared about anyone’s sexual orientation. Nobody stated this. In Moscow there was a park where homosexuals were looking for a mate, and no one bothered them. Although almost the whole city knew what they were doing in this park

Homophobia was and is something to be scorned, most socialist countries had horrible policies regarding this, same as any capitalist country. This is not to be repeated in the future, but it is not some horrid feature of the socialist system, capitalism was no better. Cuba recently passed the new family code, marking a great stride in LGBTQ+ emancipation there, things are changing, it’s not some issue with socialism. I wonder how many liberal thinkers of the time shared the same views as Marx had.

It was real socialism, and you ought to disregard anyone who says otherwise. Whether or not these socialist experiments were a net positive or negative, that’s the debate. Nobody is seriously saying it wasn’t legitimate apart from the “Democratic Socialist” types, which is a small sect of the socialist left and highly scrutinized.

You sound like an ordinary person who has never even read communist literature, but limited himself to Google queries.
For any understanding, you need to study both sides of the issue, and not just the one you adhere to
says every commie, when there communists utopia doesn’t come true.
a slightly different wording, but in general what I thought.
One of the reasons may be the most common ignorance of the theory
Some people, especially those who came to this fandom from 4chan, just don’t know what they’re talking about
really
In principle, I can understand why people compare the Starlight regime with communism (but I will not name the reason). But as far as I understand, Starlight has built Authoritarianism in her village
