    So the west is still hunting communists to this day? Easier than fixing climate or providing healthcare I guess.

      Care to explain what was communist in the event except the name of the party that enacted the massacre and maybe some of the people who died?

        I wonder why an event that happened almost before I was born is so important to some people here. Why aren’t we showcasing how monstrous Hitler was burning people for racism then? That’s far more fitting to the situation of most western countries that are all leaning on fascism and racism. Some western countries like France are not far from crushing protestors with tanks btw.

        But I guess the cold war world of 40 years ago is more comfortable. There was this nice black and white taint where capitalists were the good guys against evil communists. And we must now bring back all the sins of China and USSR to never forget what they did, so can be blind to what’s happening now I guess.

        People throwing “tankies” everywhere are worth no more than any Russian troll honestly.

          If Hitler or his party was still around and denying the Holocaust that that would be a comparable analogy. But it’s not, so it isn’t.
