Pragmatic Leftist Theory
The neolibs are too far right. The tankies are doing whatever that is. Where's the space for the people who want fully-automated-luxury-gay-space-communism, but realize that it's gonna take a while and there are lots of steps between now and then? Here. This is that space.
Here, people should endeavor to discuss and devise practical, actionable leftist action. Vote lesser evil while you build grassroots coalitions. Unionize your workplace. Participate in SRAs. Build cohesion your local community. Educate the proletariat.
This is a place for practical people to develop practical plans to implement stable, incremental improvement.
If you're dead-set on drumming up all 18,453 True Leftists® into spontaneous Revolution, go somewhere else. The grown ups are talking.
Rules:
-1. Don't be a dick. Racism, sexism, other assorted bigotries, you know the drill. At least try to default to mutually respectful discussion. We're all on the same side here, unless you aren't, in which case kindly leave.
-2. Don't be a tankie. Yes I'm sure you have an extensive knowledge of century-old theory. There's been a century of history since then. Things didn't shake out as expected, maybe consider the possibility that a different angle of attack might be more effective in light of new data.
-3. Be practical. No one on the left benefits from counterproductive actions. This is a space informed by, not enslaved to, ideology. Promoting actions that are fundamentally untenable in the system in question, because they fulfill a sense of ideological purity, is a bad look. Don't do that.

If you say homosexuality is sin, you are basically renouncing Jesus.
They died a super painful death largely because in their opinion, nothing you do with a pure heart – that is, meaning to do good to others and having done your homework to try to understand if it is an okay thing to do or not – is sin.
They were tortured to death very largely because they said that whatever is defined as sin by the old testament is no longer automatically a sin. Jesus of Nazareth invalidated the whole list of sin definitions in old testament.
If you're basing your argument on the Old Testament saying something is a sin, you are renouncing Jesus, and therefore, you are not Christian.
I don't really understand why people want to be Christians in the first place. But, if they want to be, maybe they at least should care about what Jesus said according to the Bible and not just assume that Jesus was some idiot you can safely ignore if you feel like someone being different is automatically a danger to you. Something like 95 % or 99 % of people calling themselves Christians by religion are in practical terms renouncing the word of Jesus. Like, do they not know where the word "Christianity" even comes from?
Mrmph. That's what I say. Mrmph.
