Why does it say nothing about the 1989 protests on Tiananmen Square, Beijing?
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
"Yeah, things were rough, we made mistakes, which we officially can't do because admitting to failure is bad because it would make other people think were weak, hurting party disciple and unity."
Trying to hide weakness is much weaker and more harmful.
It seems like the government is acting more in the state's interest and wellbeing than the people's. Sadly, socialist and capitalist countries (fascists only care about the state, never people, so they don't matter, they are human filth anyways) act the same in this regard, while always pushing the microphone between them to see who shouts the loudest.
(Anarchism isn't better, hyperindividualism sucks ass, it is non-scientific normative based bs, they preach total statelessness and then support one nationstate over the other.)
No state and no anarchy can (not) ever exist, until humans finally understand that everything is one and the same, and stop bashing our heads in like we did non-stop since the first of our kind.
