You’re right. I was being an ass. Tbh, the root of it is how much he gets right just makes it so his homophobia hurt more. I shouldn’t use that to take away from his insights though.
I appreciate the self-crit. The homophobia really does suck and I share some disappointment over it. Ironically (?), I have a similar thought on Stalin, who gets pinned with false shit all the time to try to undermine his radical progressivism but – unlike those false accusations – was genuinely personally homophobic to a surprising extent. He was more dismissive of gay socialists than he was even of Trots, as far as I can tell.
