On this day in 1927, conservative forces led by Chiang Kai-Shek carried out the Shanghai Massacre, attacking and disarming workers' militias by force, resulting in more than 300 people being killed or wounded.
This incident marked the beginning of a campaign of violent suppression of Chinese communists by conservative factions in the Kuomintang, killing 300,000 people over the course of three years.
The Shanghai Massacre began before dawn, when nationalist troops began to attack district offices controlled by the union workers. Under an emergency decree, Chiang then ordered the 26th Army to disarm the workers' militias.
The union workers organized a mass meeting denouncing Chiang Kai-shek the next day, and thousands of workers and students went to the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the 26th Army to protest. Soldiers opened fire, killing 100 and wounding many more.
This incident marked the beginning of a prolonged purge of communists from the Wuhan province, and the ensuing violence killed over 300,000 people in less than three years. Stalin offered his support, sending a telegram to the Chinese communists on June 1st, urging them to organize militarily against the state.
The events of April 1927 prompted the Comintern in Moscow to break ties with the Guomindang. It also triggered in-fighting between communists and left-wing nationalists in Wuhan that contributed to the collapse of Wang Jingwei’s government there.
Thousands of communists were forced underground in the cities or dispersed to rural areas. Some attempted to fight back. In August, rebellious army units led by Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and He Long occupied Nanchang for several days before being driven out by the Guomindang army.
By late summer 1927, right-wing nationalists were ascendant in the Guomindang and Jiang Jieshi had emerged as the dominant republican leader of China.

You're laughing. Hunter Biden is fucking MILFs with a giant squirtle plushie in the background and you're laughing
My half brother is a piece of shit racist who believes in the white genocide, Irish were the first and only real slaves in the USA, voted for Trump twice, deals drugs out of his mom's house but it's okay and my dad loves him and not me because he has a decent job doing maintenance work with the school system. I'm the bad guy because I don't have a job. My fucking family is cursed :agony-yehaw:
He believes the same shit my dad does, that white people brought african slaves over in order to civilize them and give them a better life. In their eyes, only the irish were actual slaves while the africans got a good thing :agony: Only my dad and his side of the family share this worldview because they're all irish. I know he sells my dad weed out of his mom's house, my dad's ex-wife, dunno what else he has his hands on.

Local news (US)
-Old decrepit racist monarch from the UK dies- Lead story
-Black man shot and killed by police in a nonsensical traffic stop- Buried behind two other stories including one of a black teen being arrested for shooting a gun and hitting (and NOT killing) a bystander.
I fucking hate this country.
the bolivia subbreddit has gone full "if you don't support the jailed coup leader you're a sexist" mode, I'm going to goad them into worshipping Thatcher, Hillary and Fujimori.
:fidel-salute: All respect to every comrade who's a plumber or works with the horrible Lovecraftian substances that run through our drains every day. I was up late last night trying (and failing, it's a bad one) to unclog the shower drain, but there's still standing water and we may need a pro. Luckily our landlord is there to not do shit for us at all ever, where would we be without him
