I mean it's pretty common for a lot of Communist or left parties that manage to be successful on a wider scale. The working class is pretty socially conservative and it can lead to the party adopting those stances. At least that's the case with our Communist party. It has a lot of rural support and as a result it leans more socially conservative. I'm probably more socially conservative than most on this site and it's because I'm a product of my culture. I've grown but there are some things I still strongly disagree with others on this site on.

It depends largely what "socially conservative" means. Adopting a "I don't give a fuck" attitude towards other people's personal identity and just letting people live their lives is probably fine. Actively being homophobic or racist in order to seem more appealing to homophobes and racists only results in the party being taken over by them and abandoning any socialist principles.

(Edit: Not trying to call you out or accuse you of anything here, sorry if it came across that way, that's not my intent at all.)
