In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

    This makes me lose faith in Marxism-Leninism by quite a bit, governments that cover up their “mistakes” and can’t admit them, do not govern in the interest of the people, only in the state’s.

      They’re not “covering up mistakes;” they’re stopping Western disinformation on the event (such as that it was a “massacre” of “peaceful” “anti-government” protestors)

      Other comrades can provide you links to our many threads on this subject.

        I am practicing democratic centralism here lol. But appareantly, criticism, that is based on facts, is not wanted here. Just “unity in debate, unity in action” hahah

          Legitimate criticism is fine, but parroting Western propaganda should be corrected.

          You’re not engaging in criticism, you are blindly regurgitating flagellation.

            I reported your comment for insults. Have a nice day, I will not keep a conversation when you have to insult me because you run out of arguments.

          Democratic centralism does not exist outside the context of an organization lol. And we’re definitely not an organization.
