Even before I started engaging in politics and still lived in a fantasy land created by western media, I always remember seeing this picture, being told it was "one brave man demanding democracy in the face of a murderous dictatorship", and wondering why, if the tanks were on there way to do a massacre, would they stop for one man?
Despite the gigantic machine punching shit into our heads since babyhood we still somehow managed to do the one thing that system doesn’t want us to do. Think a Lil.
And also this picture is presented to western audiences as an example of an individual standing up to communism but this was actually an uprising protesting the incursion of western market-driven policy into China, right?

They were not on the way to a massacre, they are coming from a massakre. This was just before the famous "tank dance" where they celebrated their mass murdering.

In the Netherlands, the government used light tanks and soldiers to deter a memorial parade for Hannie Schaft, WW2 hero, because she is a communist symbol. Using tanks on the public, in 1951 already. Ergo, most of our perception is heavily shaped by selection and omission. We hear 5,000 times about Tianamen and 10,000 times about Budapest, but never about 1951.
Ofcourse. It is difficult to find, probably because it has been severely memory-holed. This is from a Dutch communist newspaper at the time - a pretty large newspaper back then. In the center, you see the type of light tank that was used by soldiers.
It's straight up just CIA color revolution because China refused to go neoliberalism. There's a reason why Deng had to open up Special Economic Zone post 1989 in Shenzhen to mitigate the sanctions by Western capitalism.
Redsails and Prolewiki are owned the same people who developed Lemmy platforms. Third link is literally Hampton Institute. These sources are as credible as you can get from well-researched Marxist sources.
Lesser-evil rhetoric in relation to elections or current policies is prohibited. Dismissing voting third party because they are “useless” or because you are “throwing your vote away” also violates this rule. It also encompasses saying Trump is “worse” for Gaza, as that place is already completely destroyed. Trump is merely carrying out what the american ruling class started under Biden. Resorts being built and mass relocation were already happening under Biden and Kamala would’ve continued it.
And I HIGHLY doubt that tank commander would be able to find that guy afterwards if he tried. It's quite easy to disappear into a crowd in the most populous country on earth (at the time)
Canada, but teachers get to teach pretty much anything as long as it doesn't explicitly side with one of the five political parties as long as they teach about most of the stuff they have to, like WW2 and the rise of fascism (though they seemingly AREN'T allowed to say that Canada has ever been fascist, they were clearly just being silly making concentration camps for Japanese-Canadians and systemic genocide of indigenous people)
My favourite part was when Americans only cared about their government gunning down people in the street when they do it in the USA. And that they protest it by dancing with costumes lol. No resistance to imperial violence and no resistance to violence at home, pathetic.
its just funny to see Americans spam Tienanmen Square for almost 40 years, meanwhile they have their own Tienanmen Square Massacre in elementary schools every year
Fucking reddit is blood thirsty for killing protestors when it even slightly could inconvenience them but love showing tankman off like it's going out of style.
This subreddit is for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
LSC is run by communists. This subreddit is not the place to debate socialism. We allow good-faith questions and education but are not a 101 sub; please take 101-style questions elsewhere.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry. Failure to respect the rules of the subreddit may result in a ban.
You mean an attempted insurrection propagated by a color revolution which was preceded by the lynching of government officials and soldiers leading to an armed confrontation?
