      I couldn’t read all of that with s straight face, some claims were correct (the protest was - also - against capitalistic Deng reforms and China inevitable descent into imperialistic capitalism), some claims were flatearthy. Like this:

      The protestors in Tiananmen were mostly students who did not represent the great mass of Chinese citizens, but instead represented a layer of the intelligentsia who wanted to be elevated and given more privileges such as more political power and higher wages.

      They were demanding that, because the party went with Deng reforms, that made the country capitalistic empire it is today. The so called “intelligentsia” were literally trying to enforce power to stay with proletariat. If we were to attach a spinning wheel to Lenin’s corpse, we could power the whole Southern Hemisphere.

      Oh, and the gradder then bolded this:

      [Massacre victims were soldier trapped in tanks] sabotaged by radical youth leaders seemingly bent on bloodshed.

      If that were to be true, it would be radical communist youth leaders. You know, protesting against capitalism.
