68 years ago in Poznań, Poland, there broke out the first anti­‑communist mass protests in the country and one of the earliest in Eastern Bloc, also known as Poznań June ´56. The demonstrations were brutally surpressed by state services, with 57–100 civilians dead, the youngest being 13 years old

1. The anti communist mass protests on 17 June 1953 in the GDR were earlier.

2. Imagine rollling in tanks because of a protest.

3. Meh, would prefer living in that shit that in this shit. At least I would have a stable job, a house and wouldn’t have to worry about climate change.

   Downvote me, I don’t care. All this “muh democracy and freedom” talk doesn’t fool me anymore.

4. Is there some tankie to tell me again about these russian “liberators”? I’m really curious!
