Most of the slaughters atrocities that communist governments worldwide perpetrated on their own people in the 20th century weren’t viewed in real-time. Tiananmen Square was the first time Americans clearly witnessed the difference between a Christian country that values life and a Communist country that values totalitarian control by any means necessary. If we fail to remember the massacre and learn the lessons of history, America could soon be doing the exact same things openly in cities across our land. When big government feels it is losing control, it will do anything it can to maintain its power.
