can’t imagine the horrors that’d be unleashed if a mob of far-left student rioters threw molotov cocktails at the US national guard, hijacked their guns and tanks, and went on late night killing sprees where they publicly lynched and mutilated and burned alive the soldiers.
when the protests started and were largely peaceful for over a month, there was no PLA. when the PLA was deployed as riots grew, they were victims of guerrilla war tactics for 2 weeks before deciding to clear the square. (not saying i think this was the best move, just contextualizing things)
can you imagine if tank man were american? he’d be run over or shot at in a heartbeat. if he were white, maybe he’d be lucky enough to be maimed or sedated instead of killed
insane how americans will mention china censoring the massacre, as if the full story isn’t deliberately buried in google searches, and completely erased in our mainstream media. great free flow of information you got there
also the protestors/rioters were genuine communists fighting some liberal-capitalist market reforms under deng. after the protests, the CPC largely listened and stopped the reforms (resuming in a few years, but to a much lesser extent). call it appeasement out of fear or whatever, but the US congress would never socialize its economy because of a workers’ revolt
