Ok so Tiananmen square had two main elements in the protest:
- Liberals who wanted to go down the US Road entirely instead of just the Dengist approach.
- Maoists who wanted to revert the Dengist reforms entirely.
I have way more sympathy for the second group than I do the first. A more ideal path would have been a re-education of the first group and an integration of the second group into the CPC more directly, but unfortunately this did not occur as protestors became militant.
This is not to excuse the CPC response of course; even in the face of political violence, even reactionary political violence from the first group, the military should have as light of a hand as possible in response, and I don’t think this was abided by in the events of 1989. However, I do think it was correct to suppress this movement in the first place in some capacity. The alternative would probably be colour revolution. Look at places like Venezuela and Nepal and Bolivia; they haven’t purged their reactionary elements upon socialists reaching power and capitalist coups/regime change become inevitable.

Define communism and fascism. And read an actual political book instead of the shit that they literally teach you when you’re a preteen (animal farm/1984), they teach it to you then cuz ur too young to handle the real shit, but now you can.
I think it’s hilarious that you associate “communism good” with the USA, the country that quite possibly hates communism the most.

Ig it’s memetic in the literal sense of this is the smallest possible unit of culture to convey the info. But yeah it’s not really funny it’s just news (good news ofc but news nonetheless).

There’s this printer that I wanna use for my job but when I went through the process of connecting it the driver wasn’t listed among the massive amount of options. So I gotta print using a work computer instead of my laptop 😪
Nice! I’m glad you found smth that works for you. But like that still required you to get off ur ass and do smth about ur ADHD knowing it was impeding ur ability to read (and even then, you were diligent enough to read beforehand).
Imo, if more people tried reading in the first place, they’d uncover things like neurodivergence or learning disabilities and get the help they need to read more. But they don’t, and it really is cuz they’re lazy. We have physical copies at bookstores and libraries, pdfs, audiobooks, and lectures and explainers on youtube. There’s even ML children’s books. Atp, if you consider yourself left wing and don’t engage with the material, it’s on you for not finding a format that’s best for you to engage with.
