About 70 years ago, Germans in East Germany revolted against the communists! Caveat: I am not an expert on the events of this revolt.
This day is much less famous than e.g. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, but that is a severe mistake! But the similarities are striking!
"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana
Armed with stones against tanks!
