Absolutely nothing of note happened in China in June 1989, right?

Quite ironic, when you think about it… - the working class defeating the communist party!

Tankies when the people being told heirarchy is bad and steals the value of your labor when people actually believe it and try to abolish it:

Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.

Having to live in an authoritarian shithole takes its toll on you after a while.

When oliver Anthony sings that he's an old world man struggling to live in a new world, all I think about is how strong the old world fought to unionize the work force. I didn't even know about it until this year. The 1900s labour movement was intense and interesing. Especially reading about it from the future which helps put a lot of current politics into perspective.
