    Shut the fuck up you brain-dead tankie, troll farm employee.

    The demonstration was about the lack of democratic reforms. Literally one of the alternative names given was the '89 Democracy Movement '.

      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.

        No one is buying your Soviet Revisionism bullshit. It’s a tired old cliche and we stopped listening many years ago.

          *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

            Sigh, I have pictures of Captain America fighting a Nazi skull monster. Does this prove Nazi Germany had skull monsters in its ranks?

            Knock it off and go back to your tankie echo chamber where you all circle jerk each other to alternate history hub levels of fantasy politics.

            Or else come back with published, verifiable and academically accepted papers to support this fantasy narrative you are pushing.

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