Like I said, hard to find a historical equivalent. Like which side would you compare the execution of landlords? The north paid the slavers restitutions instead.
Comment on China launches military drills around Taiwan
jaschen@lemm.ee 1 week agoNope. Not even close. Imagine if the Union lost and was held up in Hawaii and the Confederacy was trying to take over the island.
The original China lost the civil war.

I mean it’d be more like if the confederate government ran away to Hawaii, then spent decades terrorizing/genocide the locals/anyone left of Nathan Bedford Forrest, while Russia gave them a bunch of weapons and ships and put military bases in Canada, Mexico, and Cuba.

Except it’s not. The original China government was not the ones who started the civil war.

No shit, when the workers start a revolution, it’s against the preexisting ruling class.
