The tweet translated:

Today is the anniversary of the massacre of students and workers who fought for freedom, rights and democracy in China, but were suppressed with violence and repression. China’s repression of dissidents unfortunately continues in high gear.

This dude is the new leader for “Enhedslisten”(Unity List), the only “socialist”(They have recently been pro NATO until an alternative arises) party with enough mandates to receive government positions, they are fairly popular.

Denmark is so cucked.

      Well when you memory hole an event as hard as you can so that an entire generation forgets about a bloody crackdown on democratic ideals, sure. It had more of an affect outside of where that suppression happened because people actually remember.

            Are you saying the chinese government didn’t use it’s massive censorship apparatus over their media and education to cover this up? Are you pro-censorship?

          Which Chinese people ? The exploited or the bourgeoisie ? Are you being vague because you don’t want to discuss this in good faith ?

          Someone happens to have a different view on a subject and that means it’s time to present the most vapid argument because you know it’s gonna get supported.

          Even if you support something, most of the time shit’s nuanced and doesn’t stop at “Chinese know Chinese things more so you’re automatically wrong”

          Anyway, I don’t understand this community, I thought there were gonna be communists here, let’s go back to the part where everyone unequivocally supports the regime.

              That’s not what I’m saying, my point is that usually communists are people who took a step back to reflect and question themselves on the world we are living in and I’m disappointed to see the same herd mentality you see everywhere else where anything that isn’t coming from inside that echo chamber is rejected outright. There are many “flavours” of communism and we should be able to have a healthy discussion between different communist groups but I don’t see that anywhere.

                This is exactly what we did and you are reading the effect of it. It’s not like the event was yesterday, we had a lot of time to think on it.

                There are many “flavours” of communism

                We had a lot of time to think on this too, and we rejected the utopian and reactionary flavours of communism. And we are not having a healthy discussion because you ride here on a horse higher than stars and you shower us with being confidently ignorant about us. If you really want to know something, ask. You just need to ask in good faith, not the usual liberal method of “did you stopped beating your wife”, that will only get you ridiculed, because we seen way too many of debate pervert types to lose too much time on them.
