There were lynchings of officers, firebombings of vehicles, and widespread violence, all of a largely reactionary nature. These were not protests for social justice. Originally, they were ultraleft Maoists upset at Deng's market reforms, but later they became liberal protests, backed by the US.

It was a tragedy that it happened at all, that's correct, however if the counter-revolt succeeded in toppling socialism, countless lives would have been lost, just like when the USSR fell and 7 million people died that didn't have to.

Not sure what you mean by "dodgy BS," I have always been clear on what my stances are. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, I hold opinions generally held by Marxist-Leninists. I'm on Capital Volume 2. I'm a spooky scary socialist.
