Removed Comment And - we do understand autism. There are things that are unanswered as with many psychological disorders that primarily affect the brain, but to say that it is not understood is misinformed. What would be short sighted is to bring someone to a world where they will face significant hardships into a family that is not prepared to care for them. by Kalashnikov @lemmygrad.ml reason: eugenics

Removed Comment > But I feel like you’re focussing too much on the effect on the mother and not on the lives of disabled people
Fetuses aren't people.
> And not every disabled person has high support needs
That is true, and sometimes families are capable of providing high support, which is why this should be a decision.
> I also don’t think that the neurodiversity movement claims that autistic people aren’t disabled, on the contrary.
The neurodiversity movement claims that autism isn't a disorder, which it is.

Removed Comment I never said that. I said that children take up resources, and if you cannot spare said resources (time, energy, money etc.), then you shouldn't have them. Disabled children often take up even more resources than the average child, and if you cannot spare those resources, you should abort fetuses that you know for a fact would become disabled children.

Removed Comment No, the neurodiversity movement claims that certain types of mental disorders (such as, for example, autism spectrum disorder) aren't disorders at all, and they should not be cured. That is stupid, reckless and dangerous.
Disabled people have the right to exist and deserve support and aid when they need it (This goes for every single human, not just disabled people). This is separate to the neurodiversity movement. There is no known cure to autism, but we should try and cure it as much as we can, because autism spectrum disorder is a disorder. The neurodiversity movement claims otherwise, and is content with the suffering "neurodivergent" individuals, their families and communities go through because of their disorder. by Kalashnikov @lemmygrad.ml reason: eugenics

Removed Comment I wasn't talking exclusively about autistic individuals, but rather disabled individuals. Certain parts of the autistic spectrum contains individual who are disabled. My comment does not apply to all autistic individuals.
"Cleansing the world of autists" is exactly what we should do. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a *disorder*, and we should try and cleanse the world of it, just as we should try and cleanse the world of heart disease or cancer or schizophrenia.
When doctors are able to determine if a fetus has genetic disorders that will impair its life and require disproportionate amount of resources from its parents, then the right thing to do is to abort said fetus, especially if the parents cannot spare those resources. Women should be able to make that choice - that's hardly eugenics if a woman wants to abort a fetus with, say, down's syndrome.
Many women do make that decision, every day. And some women do make the wrong choice, sometimes, and the children bear the consequences - because they have to deal with a disability their entire lives and will not receive adequate support that they need.
Aborted fetuses with genetic disorders is better than neglected living children with genetic disorders.
Not adequately caring for a disabled child is child neglect. by Kalashnikov @lemmygrad.ml reason: eugenics

Removed Comment I happen to think that fetuses that would grow up to have incurable disorders that would put considerable strain on the family to raise them should be aborted by those families that cannot spare said effort. You should not have a child if you do not have the resources to provide for that child, and the unfortunate reality is that disabled children take up more resources. But it should be a personal decision made by the woman.
I could absolutely never judge a mother who would choose to abort a disabled fetus. I have seen many families who raise disabled children worn down to the core from all the extra support that you have to provide to them.
Having heard of the struggle they go through, especially in places where they do not have a developed support system for disabled individuals, if I were a woman, I would make the choice to abort a fetus that would grow up to be disabled.
Autistic individuals are not a blight upon humanity - Fascist ableists however, are.
But autism is indeed a disability - I personally do not agree with the neurodiversity movement. Autism spectrum disorder *is* a disorder. Individuals with disorders should be provided with the help and support they need. Fetuses, however, are not individuals. The capitalistic way of judging individuals' worth by the profit they can make for our overlords is inhumane and ableist, and leads to the unnatural assessment that disabled individuals are "worth" less than the average human.
If a prospective mother can screen for a disorder and choose to abort a fetus based on that, I think that should be allowed, or even encouraged to make sure that women don't go into a lifetime's worth of commitment without realizing the implications.
Take Helen Keller - it took the life time dedication of several full time teachers tending to just her to make her who she was, and she was only able to do that because her family had the resources for that kind of thing. If Helen Keller were to be most people's daughter, she would have died an unknown disabled person without achieving as much as she did. by Kalashnikov @lemmygrad.ml reason: eugenics

Removed Comment No one on here will want to hear this but it damn well needs to be said: how much of our beloved "left" were/are useful idiots promoting radical surgeries and hormonal manipulations on children? Complete with the pre-accusation that not supporting life-altering surgeries on children is 'transphobic'?
A grown and matured human may do what ever they want with their own body, but children? The same children who are literally figuring out themselves and will make many mistakes as they grow up because they have near zero life experience including the understanding of their own bodies? Not to mention the vastly different experience of one's own body pre- and post-puberty.
"oh but if the kids have to wait to transition until they are an adult then they may not be passable". <- a creepy effing phrase said to me by an alleged socialist (and similar conversations with several SocDems and prog-libs). To which I must yell "stop sexualizing children!!!!! Yes you are already sexualizing children if you are considering their pass-ability!!!!!!"
I shouldn't even have to write this. I don't want to write it, but someone needs to put their neck out and speak an obvious truth. Yet another emperor which has no clothes.
Go ahead and bring up that one child you met that one time which "YOU JUST KNEW" was trans from the age of 3 or whatever, I'll wait. Such an anecdote, if even real, hardly makes up for the especially high numbers of transitioning children which are almost certainly not trans but more likely gay, bi, or simply curious and/or confused about their bodies, and yet again adults come into their early life to screw with the rest of their life with allegedly good intentions. Misguided (allegedly) good intentions can blow themselves.

Removed Comment Yeah, sorry, but I know there are many LGBTQIA+ people here for which LGBTQIA+ issues are often existential (i.e, murder by bigots).
But we do have to acknowledge that Western bourgeois democracies are more progressive on LGBTQIA+ issues and that this will become a splintering line by bourgeois establishments, and this has to be brought into discussion.
Western communist parties generally are pro-LGBTQIA+, but communist parties in the Global South are often more regressive (Laos, for instance, limits LGBTQIA+ discussions online, but culturally tolerates transgenderism). I can put out my critical support line, but it's not a strong position to hold.

LGBTQIA+ is essentially orthogonal to Marxism, but it's a key lever of idpol in the bourgeois West.
Non-Marxist anti-imperialist states are usually quite traditional, and this brings out the neo-conservative challenge.

Removed Comment Stalin had a purge of Jewish functionaries late into his rule.
About 90% of Russians oppose gay marriage, and the CPRF has chosen not to be the vanguard party on LGBTQIA+ issues. Given that they control about 11% of the Duma, and have two governorships in Russia, their strategy seems to be working out well. Moreover, it smooths relations with United Russia given that UR controls nationalism in Russia and CPRF is also effectively nationalist in wishing to restore the Soviet Union.
The best possible outcome for Russia is still CPRF gradually taking the helm away from UR, and pushing hard on LGBTQIA+ makes this more difficult, if not impossible. by farmer_of_song @lemmygrad.ml reason: Stalin was not anti-semitic
