>>446443On the questions of homosexual relations - maybe. "Maybe" because they moved it from crime as it was under Empire into mental disease category - and still were relatively lenient about it for the times - like not employing chemical castration for it.
But in everything else holy shit. Commies spat and pissed all over the traditional "nuclear family", pushing women into nontraditional roles from factory workers to front-line combatants to politicians, and vice-versa. Put secularism into the state ideology and made religious people into undesirables. Doused the entire per-revolution traditional Russian culture in gasoline and set it on fire, replacing it with entirely new made-up shit. Declared scientific progress and advancement of means of production as the ultimate end-all justification of everything as per principle of historic materialism. Went through 5 major culture shifts in 40 years between 1920 and 1960.
The only way you can portray pre-Brezhnev commies as traditionalist is by modern Western progressivists feeling uncomfortable from such association (and from being called pinkies) and thus lumping them together with traditionalists by the logic of "we don't like them --> well they are obviously not progressive then, and Stalin is really just Hitler in another dressing amirite?"
Another argument I can imagine is that "true" progressive ideology cannot be mandatory, and thus any progressive doctrine instantly stops being progressive when it becomes a doctrine, but that doesn't really make sense, if only in a very long perspective of said doctrine remaining unchanged.
On the test itself, it seems way too American/Western-centric, with a lot of questions concerning immigration, cultural formations, TEH GHEY RIGHTS, terrorism and other shit that is simply irrelevant in the dreaded Marxist discourse.
