Tiananmen square massacre 1989 bravely broadcasted by BBC (WARNING:BLOODY GRAPHIC)

In not one of the interviews I saw or read from the protagonist at the time was ever a mention of democracy or pro-capitalism.

I can entertain the idea that they were thinking it, but they couldn't say such a thing, sure, but I can't know that.

Maybe 3 decades later some said otherwise, ok sure. Well, there's not a single testimony of the time reflecting that so I can't assume that was what they were thinking at the time. That would be the worst kind of revisionism.

Is a documented fact that some of the biggest student group they even reivindicated Mao. They believe that the communist party at that time was a perversion of what they considered "communism". I'm using quotation marks and clarifying that they believe that. Is not what I believe. If I say some people believe the earth is "flat", I'm not the one thinking it ok?... whatever. This is useless. bye
