Absolutely nothing of note happened in China in June 1989, right? - Lemmy.world

But who hasn’t killed their citizens in a simple misunderstanding? Or, if that doesn’t work, America Also Bad! \s

I mean, China fucking sucks and is a shit authoritarian statist government but let’s not pretend America hasn’t done similar things.

Ever heard the stories of how we won the right to unions?

  • Columbine Mine Massacre

  • Ludlow Massacre

  • Thibodaux Massacre

  • Battle of Blair Mountain

  • Herrin Massacre

Hundreds of people killed in total because they were protesting.

Those things? Also bad.

Incredible that two things can simultaneously be shit, but it’s true.

Weird how I only ever hear one of those events used to dismiss an entire system of economic organization though
Imagine thinking that people are opposed to post-scarcity economics, and not the whole “let’s kill everyone who disagrees with us until we achieve such conditions”
“Just wake me up when we get there” 👍
