great, he makes a deal with Xi to not say anything but when he does he shows how stupid he is
there is only 2 outcomes from protesters "meeting" Xi, Hong Kong gets full autonomy (wont happen) or Tiananmen Square 2

The “every one of them is a far-left Fidel Castro supporter” thing isn’t nearly as effective as I was worried it’d be
My chapter is doing State and Revolution atm so I'm tempted to put together my own Tony Pancakes Brunch on Party and Class and others (party and class asserts that The Party such that was theorized by Lenin will inevitably just become the ruling class and now we're at square 1 again)
