Liberals and leftists who dislike the CCP MUST understand that if the “evil CCP” is defeated, China will go down the EXACT same path as Russia. Leftists especially need to understand what color revolutions are. It seriously disturbs me how many “leftists” absolutely DESPISE China but have never done anything to counter U.S. imperialism.
I always found it interesting that the Tiananmen Square protests happened in 1989 right when all the other “pro-democracy” protests in the socialist world did, but it didn’t succeed.
It’s infuriating because many of those “leftists” are simultaneously under the delusion that it’s best for everyone involved “in the long run” (but also Russia bad lol), for both China and the World. Even way back when I was an anti-China/USSR SocDem, I thought the USSR collapsing the way it did was an objectively terrible thing.

Tankiest I've ever been
This is why the repression at Tiananmen Square ended up being good for China in the long run
