Ah yes, the famous woke USSR, in which you could be sent to the gulag for being gay.

Do you believe in your own ahistorical view of the world?

Ignoring that the USSR tried all this stuff in the 20s until Stalin got rid of it, you know full well that there's a difference between some communist academic working in an office in Berlin or whatever and the Soviet union
Who exactly are you taking about? Marx and Engels seldom spoke of sexuality. What does an economic theory has to do with LGBT rights? And no the USSR was never "woke"[1], not even in the 20s, you can't just claim stuff like that. Bring sources next time.
