An interesting point in bourgeois sexual politics and attempts to degenerate the proletariat:
The NazBols Vladimir Linderman and Edourd Liminov.
The NazBols were essentially anarchic Soviet punks. As in they just opposed 'authority'.
As Latvia laid the groundwork to join the European Union and NATO in the '90s, Linderman fought to drag it back toward Russia. He became a leader in the Latvian branch of a new political movement that had started in Moscow called the National Bolshevik Party. The name is confusing, because the Nazbols — as movement members were nicknamed — weren't really pining for communism, but rather a Russian-led empire that harkened back to both the USSR and the "Russian World" dreamt of under the tsars. They affected a Nazi-inspired fascist drag, directly modeling the movement's flag on the banner of Hitler's Third Reich, but with a hammer and sickle at its center instead of a swastika. Its leader, a writer named Eduard Limonov, affected a kind of casual punk militarism, a posture most infamously captured in a BBC documentary that showed him firing a few rounds from a machine gun into the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo during a 1992 visit to see the Russian-backed Serbian warlord Radovan Karadžić.

Now under Soviet rule Linderman became the "father of pornography" and the leader of the 'sexual revolution' in Latvia. Edourd Liminov (founder of NazBols) also came to fame with his homosexual novel
It's Me, Eddie which shook Soviet sensibilities in regards to sexual attitudes with him engaging in sodomy in New York parking lots.
After Soviet collapse and the success of the "gay rights" movement Linderman switches to an Anti-LGBT activist - when LGBT becomes hegemonic.
"Sometimes, my biography confuses even me," Linderman said. "I was the father of the sexual revolution, and now I'm becoming the father of the sexual counterrevolution."
The social base of the NazBols was essentially the petite-bourgeois larping as revolutionary and expressed in crude pornography.
The newspaper's mix of porn and satire opened up the conversation about sex in the Russian-speaking world in much the same way Playboy did in the U.S. in the 1950s, but its significance was arguably more profound. The phrase "there's no sex in the Soviet Union" had been a running joke on both sides of the Iron Curtain for several years before it fell, and there was some truth to it, at least in publishing. MORE was a joyful middle-finger to all the social strictures of the Communist years, liberating in the way it might have been to wave a giant dildo in the face of Lenin. (The editors came pretty close to doing exactly that in the very first issue, placing an image of a veiny rubber phallus alongside an excerpt from a Lenin biography with a caption that began, "Have they understood that MARXISM is more real and more serious than they thought, that you can't rag on it?")

But as we see from Israeli invasion of Palestine, when Isreal invaded they took over all the TV stations and began broadcasting pornography 24/7. Now why would that be?
"I have six children at home; they have nowhere to go with what is going on here and can't even watch TV," Reema, a Palestinian mother, said.
"It's not healthy really. I think the Israelis want to mess with our young men's heads."
