We had the 1977 Moutier riots linked to the (very left-leaning at the time) Jura independance movement. But before that, we had the 1932 Geneva "massacre" where the Army executed 13 strikers, hurting 60 others. It's not gaslighting, its just history has its been taught to me by my leftist grandpa.
And I guarantee you, those events are part of Switzerland's forgotten history, simply because Bourgeois do not allow us to remember those, for once again, leftists used to stand for extraordinary concepts such as national sovereignty and workplace democracy.
That's wild, I'm aware of that one and I spent my life between Ireland and Italy, so to say it's forgotten/whitewashed is simply not true.
It's obviously not how things should be done, and there was some agitation that led to the tragedy, but a massacre, it wouldn't reach that in my book. THAT would be considered a civil unrest tragedy. And it came to a resolution with changes made around the Jura. I can't say the same in China, you're right, but they're not the same.
