The Tienanmen square massacre and the Maoists

The tienanmen square incident is another place where anti-communists get right and wrong completely confused.

Thousands of students and others gathered in the heart of Beijing to challenge the Chinese government in the late 80s. The leaders of that time Teng and Li Peng called out the army, and hundreds of people were massacred.

But the part people aren't told: the maoists were standing with the people in the streets. And the anti-maoists were the ones who called out the army. and the U.S. government (of George Bush senior) was supporting the government that carried out the massacre.


http://rwor.org/a/china/tienamen.htm

Then the workers came from the city's factories to join the students in this rebellion, they came carrying posters of Mao and their redbooks -- in challenge to the revisionist rulers who had rejected and mocked Maoism.

Here is a picture of the rebels INSIDE the tienanmen square crowd proclaiming their Maoist politics: http://rwor.org/i/china/tian5.htm

What hair-care products did Stalin endorse? One can't help but be awed by his majestic crest of pompadour.

You know, I believe he made his own product. I don't think he was stupid enough to use things made in soviet union.

Yeah... president Bush had the same problem really recently. There he is peacefully negotiating with Saddam, when the EU somehow forces the American troops to invade Iraq! And worst of all, none of the legitimate media believes him!

Luckily, a few one-issue sites cooberate his story! Or rather, they did before the big media shut them down. I guess it's time for me to make my own site explaning the wacky story of a loveable anti-war president, who just wasn't understood.

So does low fat ice cream. You've got more here to reply to than Whtzehoosiz, for sure.

As it happens, I know two people who were in a hotel bordering on that square on that day, who were "emergency evacuated" at about noon, during the mayhem.

Huzington is blowing something a bit solider and smellier than smoke, here.

So, Huz, let me see if I understand you...the protesters were gathering in the square demanding that the good communist government shoot them because they were being manipulated by the evil capitalist running imperialist chicken in every garage, car in every pot western dogs?

Huzzy's constant praise of Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong Il, etc is as close to practical Satanism as you can get, after praise of Hitler.

Peoples gear lube No.3

One of the greatest human gestures I have ever witnessed was some poor Chinese Guy with a sack full of bok choy and other no doubt crappy grogerys , standing in front of a line of tanks and refusing to move.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then this picture was worth a million empty pronouncements of Empty headed academicians and arm chair generals.

Correct, and the key ingredient is oil rendered from human fatty tissue extracted from many of the 40,000,000 victims of this mass-murderer.

BAH!! Is there anything more annoying than a bunch of uppity protesting college students. I cant believe the troops resisted the urge to run them over with tanks. They should be rewarded for their self control.

If I see a crowd I take the opportunity.

Why go to all that trouble, when there are so many slain communists close at hand?

Oh yes, silly me. Not much fat on communists.
