No, the equivalent in US wouldnt be a capitalist billionaire. It would be its opposite: a popular group with marxist or communist ideals that menaces the status quo and current order. Like the Black Panther Party. And, oh, they were disappeared, some of them still are in solitary confinenent because the government is afraid that they could spread their ideology to other inmates.
- yafbum 3y agoThe only example you can find is from 40-50 years ago? Around the time that China (while we're at comparing with China) was having its military shoot protesters in Tiananmen square?

- yafbum 3y agoThe protestors summarily killed at Tiananmen are still unjustly dead
- sudosysgen 3y agoSo is Fred Hampton, but the thread I was replying to dismissed it because it was a while ago.
