    I want you to reply to me “The Tianamen Square Massacre happened the third of June in the year 1989. And the government murdered 300 peaceful protestors that day, then had the fucking audacity to claim 5,000 of their soldiers were injured which is fucking laughable and expected of oppressive regimes.”

    Or something along those lines.

                The assumption of maleness on lemmy really bothers me. Anyway, I’m just being a bit pedantic. Presumably as a socialist you are in favor of toppling the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in favor of a dictatorship of the proletariat, no?

                  I did not assume you were male, I was being obnoxious because of your superfluous response. There’s no pedantry. I have never liked the concept of a dictatorship of the proletariat, and I don’t think that’s relevant to a modern understanding of socialism anyhow.

                    Sorry, English is not my first language. I did not realize ‘son’ is gender neutral. Anyway yes, the pedantry was mine. Not sure how you have socialism without the workers being in control of the society, but okay.
