I wonder whats Stalin's take on how to deal with people with "conservative values"
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

Imagine thinking "the social" and "the economic" are two magically separate realms that don't intersect and about which you can have totally different beliefs, lol. Not just liberalism, but this sort of thinking goes back even deeper into "Western" thinking. This is the consequence of the "Western" metaphysical tradition. This is what understanding dialectics cures you of, but the hegemony of metaphysics that produces shit like this is what makes dialectics hard for people to understand.
Looking at society through a scientific lens, one would come to the conclusion that social values are a reflection of material conditions. Nobody just magically becomes a transphobic asshole, it's a successful redirection of anger towards fellow workers by the ruling class.
True. But that doesn't mean we should show any tolerance towards transphobia, racism, etc. Actual solidarity and support for total liberation for all is the only way to combat the divide and conquer strategy. All this patsoc shit has been tried before; I'd recommend reading Settlers, Black Bolshevik, George Jackson, and shit like that for good explanations of why it's a dead end.
I completely agree, just because someone's ignorance was taken advantage of doesn't mean we should infantilize them. Showing any toleration for their bigoted bullshit just gives merit to it. And thank you, I'll check those out
