I fail to see how remembering Tiananmen Square massacre is not compatible with socialism.
Depends on what you're remembering. Are you remembering the myth we're taught about unarmed, freedom-loving student protesters being violently butchered in the Square, run over by tanks under the orders of evil communists? Or are you remembering the reality of a failed CIA color revolution led by a liberal minority trying to hijack protests with the intent of causing a bloodbath to try and destabilize the government?
Star Trek's inclusion of the ship was stated to support the former, the idea that the "Massacre" happened as taught in the West. It's not very compatible with socialism to buy into propaganda demonizing socialist countries. Recognizing genuine failures, setbacks, mistakes - sure - but not false narratives intended to drive public opinion against socialism.
Damn you really have swallowed the propaganda
No, just did actual research. If you care to engage in a good faith discussion of the topic, by all means we can. If you're just going to dismiss anything that challenges your worldview as propaganda, then kindly leave me be. I ran out of patience for liberal brainrot years ago.
