I bought one on ebay. I also have bought a pic of Kim Il Sung off of there, and a DDR flag (made in the DDR!).

Damn, countries suck AFTER the socialist system was abandoned and everything was looted by liberal vultures??????????????????
How can you even be a Catholic and not pro-west? The literal state religion of the Western Roman Empire. The last vestige of the Roman empire. Spread by the sword throughout the world. Housed in Rome itself, the vile cesspit whose progeny still despoil and exploit this world. Real Jesus heads would never be down with a vile empire coopting his message like that.
Stick around a while, read State and Rev, and soon you'll be one of us :D
Hell yeah, 0% moral purity. Moralists btfo

Real utilitarianism hours.
You have to look at the broader world context. This wasn't just a simple protest. This was a Western backed movement (even wikipedia acknowledges the CIA was actively aiding the movement) to overthrow the Chinese government happening at the exact same time similar movements were ending socialism throughout the entire Eastern bloc. This entire purpose of a socialist state (we can debate about whether the PRC was one at this point, or w/e, but they at least ostensibly were) is to defend socialism against counter-revolutionaries. Is that not what happened here? If anything I think the response was rather lax.
If the leadership of the DDR, USSR, Poland, etc. had taken decisive action like this, then they wouldn't have collapsed. Of course, that would required them to not all be miserable revisionists; which they sadly all were.
