That's a butthole not a mogus.

The joke is that modern commies believe that shit will save them

It's a funny joke, but weren't the soviets also pretty homophobic?

The peasants and factory workers certainly were, but most of the Russian intelligentsia favored legalizing homosexuality (which they did). Stalin banned it and it was only made legal in Russia again in the 90s after the collapse of the USSR.

Further prove that academic-cels supporting extremists like the bolsheviks always reap what they sow

In December 1917, after the October Revolution, the Russian Soviet Republic (later the Russian SFSR) decriminalised homosexuality. However, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin would later recriminalise s*x between men in March 1934 with the addition of Article 154-a to the Soviet criminal code, which punished consensual anal s*x between men with three to five years' imprisonment. The revised criminal code of 1961 continued to classify sexual relations between men as a crime, relocating it to Article 121 and providing for only a maximum of five years' imprisonment for consensual s*x. Western observers estimated that, during the Soviet era, between 800 and 1000 men were imprisoned per year under Article 121. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, homosexual acts between consenting males were re-legalised in 1993 (they had not been criminalised for women), removing Article 121 from the RSFSR penal code.

More of a cautionary tale. They started out ahead of the curve, but the reaction was fierce and led to a long period without progress.
