That is 1000% false. He climbs the tank and talks to driver. The protestors in Tiananmen were mostly students who did not represent the great mass of Chinese citizens, but instead represented a layer of the intelligentsia who wanted to be elevated and given more privileges such as more political power and higher wages. Reporters from the BBC, CBS News, and the New York Times who were in Beijing on June 4, 1989, all agree there was no massacre. Cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and released exclusively by The Daily Telegraph, partly confirm the Chinese government's account of the early hours of June 4, 1989, which has always insisted that soldiers did not massacre demonstrators inside Tiananmen Square In an interview, you can hear one of the student leaders, Chai Ling, explaining how she tried to bait the Chinese government into actually committing a massacre.

I still can't believe the skiff team lied to people concerned over the project and rugged everybody.

I know this likely won't reach the target audience, but let's show some solidarity! Awake IL is targeting Naperville 203, & Councilman McBroom is attacking a middle schooler. Trans students face bullying. We must stand up! Pack the room. Hate doesn’t belong here. Every TGNC student deserves safety & support. Spread the word. Bring friends. Show up & speak out!

Nothing interesting to do really. Sorry but it's true. I'm just buying and holding ETH.

China is not a capitalist country, its a mixed economy with the planned socialist sector predominant, and the communist party standing above the political system. The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee. You are coping. You should be asking why the USA, the richest country in the history of this planet, has a higher wealth disparity than during the French Revolution.

I do not own a business or factory or real estate to make me money off the labor of others. I have to sell my own labor for a wage/salary. I am part of the exploited class. I work in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. I have no say at my job. I have no access to the surplus profits of my labor.

The fact is, China has pulled hundreds of millions out of abject poverty and has led the country to near parity with the US in basically 25-30 years (88% poverty to 0.7% according to the world bank). 90% home ownership rate, 97% literacy rate, etc ... Standards well above the US.

Considering the never-ending declassified CIA documents of coups, assassinations, color-revolutions, anti-communist propaganda, sino-phobia, dictatorships, political meddling, etc ... I'm extremely dubious of Western portrayal of anything about China. Nobody is saying any country is a utopia and without issues, but I find it hard to swallow a lot of the exaggerated claims by the US and the Western media

Now your replies make sense. You are a petty bourgeoisie. Are your workers unionized? Is it a coop? Do they own a share in profits or decisions making? If not, you are not exploited, you are the exploiter. According to Marxist theory, petty bourgeoisie will eventually end up in the proletariat class due to the inability to compete with monopoly capitalism. You are still subject to the whims of the actual bourgeoisie and oligarchs. You are closer to being homeless than being a billionaire.

My personal living decisions have no bearing on whether Socialism objectively is better for more people than Capitalism. I'll stay and fight for the working class that is suffering under Capitalism, thanks. I helped a Union Strike just yesterday, what have you done lately?

Myth: Communism Equals Dictatorship Debunked: Socialist leaders (Mao, Castro) relied on mass support, unlike capitalist dictatorships. Capitalist democracies are dictatorships of the wealthy, masking oppression through electoral illusions. The "dictatorship of the proletariat" refers to working-class control (complete opposite of a dictatorship often criticized), opposing bourgeois dominance.
