    The irony of saying this when the students at Tiananmen were literally protesting against the CCP for not being communist enough.

      Go on. What’s ironic about my statement and what you just brought up? Why do you think me saying that there are a lot of commies here, has anything to do with my view on what happened in Tiananmen Square?

        There were multiple perspectives represented among the protesters. Some waved slogans for democracy, others had framed paintings of Mao Zedong. The protests went on for months and were not a unified, centrally organized affair.

            *I have pictures, mentioning this at the top because apparently no one reads this comment

            I’m not the person you replied to earlier. I don’t know how the Soviets factor into this, and I don’t think it’s necessarily ideological to mention a concrete detail about an event. Established, western, non-communist, non-china-supporting media sources covered the protests in person for months, and their reports and pictures show a spread of perspectives among the protesters. Deng Xiaoping’s government had detractors from multiple directions.

            two pictures, spoilered to not take up space in the thread

          Wow, “the mango press,” I’ll happily believe anything they say since they’re obviously not biased and full of shit…
