On: 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests

[_dp9d]

In these strange times I'm seeing more people question our current setup (Capitalism/Democracy) and wonder about how we should make it better when we eventually re-open. With that in mind, I'm seeing more and more "Socialism/Communism = bad" posts all across the internet.

Even the videos posted yesterday of nurses in Denver blocking protesters showed a lady screaming "If you want communism, go to China!!"

> lady screaming "If you want communism, go to China!!"

the lady was making a very misleading claim. I think the only country with something resembling communism left is NK and probably Cuba.

Among the other things Communism assumes absence of social classes, money and the state. Nothing ever came anywhere close to accomplishing it.

"If you want communism, go to China!!" - They should be yelling it to people who have concocted communism state for large companies/industries. Take airlines for example - they're getting this giant bailout at taxpayer's expense. Those were running profit for the last 10 years and managed to save nothing for the rainy days. Now they're crying and want taxpayers to bail them out.
