Two words: Tienanmen square. If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you're a POS. And you do.

The holocaust

The Bengal famine

The potato famine

WW1

WW2

The Vietnam war

The slave trade

Immigrant concentration camps

Apartheid/Segregation

Imagine thinking the June 4th incident -where around 300 people died, slightly less than half of those people being unarmed PLA soldiers- can be used to condemn a system as large as China while every capitalist country has done much, much worse.

Hell, say the cultural revolution, say the post-civil-war famine, the way the cpc handled them can reasonably be criticized, and they are, by the current cpc.

Yeah you're right, we've got to destabilize a country of 1.4 billion people over 300 deaths more than thirty years ago

Thousands of extrajudicial killings by US police every year? What's that?
