tankies: “Protestors were violent thugs!”

also tankies: “Voting won’t fix problems, you must overturn the status quo by any means necessary, including violence”

So, which is it? Is violence okay or no?

As the “Communists” used to say:

“革命无罪，造反有理”

“Revolution is not a crime, Rebellion is justified”

This also applies to the tyranny of Mao.

Its actually funny how chanting the same thing right now in Beijing, that Mao once said, would get you arrested.
