This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES anarchism, Gonzaloism, etc.)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

from what I've heard, they don't even block discussion of it in China, it's just called the "June 4th incident" ๐
Yeah, they don't let people spread lies about it, but it's part of their history
That's the most hilarious part. It isn't censored in China at all. They just call it a different name and gullible westerners assume that the blank looks Chinese people give them when they froth at the mouth about "The tinyman square massacre" is proof that THE TRUTH is censored in China.
"June 4th incident" or "counter-revolutionary riot/rebellion" is part of a larger topic called "1989 Political Disturbance/Turmoil", those who are interested can try searching with these terms.
BTW, in China "Tiananmen incident" refers to the 1976 incident, both incidents began from the mournings of Chinese leaders (Zhou Enlai in 1976 and Hu Yaobang in 1989).
Not censored. It's openly discussed in the literature. Unsurprisingly, they don't let you spread unsubstantiated claims about massacres, though.
If, as I've seen many a white "journalist" do, you go up to a random chinese person on the streets and ask "Hey do you know about the thousands of people that were massacred?" they would, very understandably, think you were deranged.
