OVERVIEW

• SOCIALISM (SOCIAL DEMOCATS & DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS) CAME BEFORE COMMUNISM AND HAD -- IN ITS EARLY DAYS -- SOME CLEAR LIBERTARIAN INFLUENCES.  IN EUORPE, SOME OF THE EARLY (19TH CENTURY) SUPPORTERS OF LGBT+ RIGHTS WERE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS.

• HISTORICALLY, COMMUNISM TENDS TO BE -- AT ITS CORE -- MORE AUTHORITARIAN AND MORE PURITAN ABOUT LGBT+ RIGHTS, WITH SOME (NOTABLE) EXCEPTIONS.  VERY FEW ACTUAL COMMUNIST PARTIES OR PEOPLE EXIST, MOST PEOPLE AND PARTIES WHO CLAIM TO BE COMMUNIST ARE REALLY MORE SOCIALISTS (ESPECIALLY AFTER COLD WAR AND THE FALL OF THE SOVIET UNION).
