The tweet translated:

Today is the anniversary of the massacre of students and workers who fought for freedom, rights and democracy in China, but were suppressed with violence and repression. China’s repression of dissidents unfortunately continues in high gear.

This dude is the new leader for “Enhedslisten”(Unity List), the only “socialist”(They have recently been pro NATO until an alternative arises) party with enough mandates to receive government positions, they are fairly popular.

Denmark is so cucked.

    Pretty much. They are definitely socialist in their definition, but they believe in the weakest form of socialist revolution: Voting it in … On paper at least, in practice it’s hasn’t been looking good imo. The current ordfører bashing the worlds largest socialist project and them supporting NATO until an alternative is presented is worrying.

    Commendably (Quite a while ago now) they did vote no to the removal of the EU forsvarsforbehold. (As the only left-wing party btw, some right-wing parties did vote no, but that’s because they want their own fascist militaries lol)

    Direct democracy, socialist economy, community based governance, rewriting grundloven(constitution) etc. all good stuff on paper.

      There is also this … The incident is rather cringe, the police removed a Tibet flag from protesters during a China-Denmark state visit, and the police officers themselves were reprimanded for acting on their own accord. But I find this post even more cringe.

      Protest against panda diplomacy. Today, Eva Flyvholm, foreign affairs spokesperson for Enhedslisten, gave a speech at the demonstration organised by the Support Committee for Tibet in front of the Copenhagen Zoo. “We are not against the pandas, but it is clear that Denmark gets the pandas after we toned down our criticism of the Chinese occupation of Tibet,” says Eva Flyvholm. "It is important for us to support the right to demonstrate and display the Tibetan flag.

      Ah yes, let’s bring back feudal-theocratic slave rule to Tibet???
