    Basically the protestors were socialists who believed in democracy. The government abandoned socialist ideals and wanted an authoritarian state-capitalist country, but called it “socialism with chinese characteristics”.

      Yeah that makes sense. I’ve heard the current system called “fascism with Chinese characteristics” too.
