Amazing how Tiananmen Square just disappeared down the memory hole. It was the only story on the news for two months in 1989.
Do they even teach about it today in history classes?
I posted this on another thread this morning where some twit was slobbering over the beauty of the Communist Chinese Subway system:
************************************
Leftists love Communist China and want to emulate it. Even some on this very forum.
It is great when your name is Walter Duranty, and you are getting plenty of perks from the Communists to paint their activities in a positive light, but it isn’t so great being a Kulak who is either shot in the head outright, or forced to eat a piece of flesh cut from the starved corpse of Uncle Vlad’s calf.
Just pisses me off. We have learned NOTHING from the 20th Century.
Oh, this is the new, modern, updated form of Communism found in China. It will work if we do it right.
No, it won’t.
It is still Communism, the single most blood-drenched ideology in the history of mankind. It may have a nice velvet glove on, to fool the West, but underneath, it is still the blood drenched fist of Communism.
We damn well better recognize that and not forget it.
