    No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.

        The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

          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.

            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.

          a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies.

          They demanded this, won, and then ignored all of it and introduced neoliberal capitalism pretty much straight away?

      You mean the massive labor strikes calling for the return of the socialist government after inflation skyrocketed 400% (or 300% idc)
