The Day China's Heart Froze

Twenty years ago today, thousands were being killed in the streets
around Tiananmen Square.

They were protesting the Chinese government's shift from Communism to
good old American style fascism.

The only reason communism is still alive there is that they still need time.

Time to make sure all the children and relatives of the party bosses
have their own factories and businesses. They set up a monopoly on
everything for themselves and then declare communism obsolete.

That's the way it's worked in every other 'former' communist State.

The rich get richer. Then there will be NO obligations on the State to
provide anything to anybody. Starvation makes people work for next to
nothing. A veritable businessman's paradise.

Communism has always been a farce, but this new use of it as a business
creation tool is the worst aspect ever.

The only reason 'a-one-party-system' is still alive there . . .

control, Control. CONTROL !

Not to the Millions that have been Kill by It.

D'Oh ! - More of the China's [PRC] Citizens now
have Jobs and Food on the Table then at anytime
in their last 100 Years. Proving that a Market Driven
Economy {Controlled by the Many} under a One Party
System works better then a Centrally Planned Economy
{Controlled by the Few "ObamaNomics"}.
For Many/Most Citizens of China now have more :
* Economic Opportunity
* Employment Freedom
* Material Wealth
= A Better Life all things being relative. ~ RHF

No they wanted democracy. Not Communism (which is just as bad as Fascism)

Twenty Years Later

So here we are, at another June 4 that much of the rest of the world
won’t notice. It is all the more painful here in the West in that this
anniversary – the 20th is one of our more important ones. It will hurt
to see those who so bravely gave their lives be so cruelly forgotten.

The irony here – and one we must remember – is that this year, more
than any other except perhaps for 1989 itself, we can truly say that
those who were murdered did not die in vain. For whatever the rest of
the world thinks of the Tiananmen Square bloodbath, the Chinese
Communist Party is more afraid of it than it has ever been.

The Chinese government is no more Communist than the Nazis were
socialists. China is a totalitarian fascist oligarchy.

Totalitarian One Party Oligarchy :

The Party Leader : Mao / Hitler

The Party Elite : The 1%ers

The One Party : CCP / NAZI

The Masses United Behind {Enslaved} by the Party

Never let the facts interfere with a good hissy fit. There were nine
separate political parties represented in the 2007 People's Congress.
