I'll be sure to tell the families of those who died in Tiananmen Square that that was all just "western government misinformation"
- find me a post/comment where Dessalines denies that Tiananmen Square ever happened
  
  https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md#what-about-the-tiananmen-square-massacre
  
  is saying that the story was largly sensationalized with proof saying it never happened?
  
  It denies that a massacre happened in Tiananmen square.
  
  but claims are mostly about never acknowledging that anything happened.
  
  The claim from """tankies""" is mostly that no massacre happened in the square, but that deaths happened outside of it in clashes between armed protesters and the PLA. Exactly as Dessalines FAQ.

  Here you go. FYI his reddit name was parentis_shotgun
  
  Do you have reading comprehension issues? He doesn't deny it happened in that comment, he calls it a US-backed color revolution and says that the PRC was right to put it down.
  
  Calling the entire protest a color revolution is a matter of opinion, but it is an undeniable fact that many of the most high-profile protest leaders were US-backed.
