平反 64
Remember and honor the brave rebels of Tiananmen Square!
The USA media have their own agenda to demonize the Peoples Republic of China and the Peoples Liberation Army's actions against protestors on 4 June 89. As a result, us on the Left sometimes tend to react against our state's interests and cut China slack. However, many protestors in Tiananmen Square were not seeking Yankee blue jeans. They were fighting for a radical new world.
One of the perverse features of modern politics is the attempt of western capitalists to present themselves as defenders of democracy and people’s rights, and their portrayal of revolutionary communists as dictators and oppressors. They have attempted to impose this narrative on the public view of the 1989 events — when, in fact, the very opposite is true…. when in fact the U.S. then supported the brutal government of Deng in every way that mattered. The U.S. claimed the rebellion, while they came waving dollars to exploit China’s people.
Without a true peoples army, the people had nothing — despite the justice of their demands, despite the passion of their voices and the power of their numbers.
It is right to rebel against reactionaries!
