Let's see...

  • Nazism
  • McCarthyism
  • Vietnam War
  • Racial Injustice
  • South African Apartheid
  • Occupy Wall Street
  • Gaza Genocide
  • etc.

I am curious. Has there ever been a wide-scale student protest movement that WASN'T unequivocally vindicated by history?

Tiananmen got deleted.

Never knew until I immigrated to the US. And even then, its merely a brief mention on it and calls it "communism" (its not lol) and then the teachers proclaim its why "communism" is bad, USA constitution rule of law blah blah.

Look how good the constitution is, its being ripped apart right now.

Sure, the western world knows it happened, but its only a few shitposters on the internet cares about it. If you go on the street and ask the average westerner, they'd have no clue on what you're talking about.

A few posts on reddit shitposting on June 4 is not exactly being "Vindicated".

The CCP won, they erased history.

The USA is now following the same path.

Autocrats of the world have won.

wasn't the Red Guard also a student movement? it didn't get deleted, but it's definitely not looked back upon fondly. tbf most of what I know of it comes from Three Body Problem though, so I could be wrong.

there's also the Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhoff gang) in Germany during the '70s which killed some people.
