The nefarious conservative claims I'm switching the subject from capitalism to human rights, yet also informs us the first human right is to have "free markets"?Markets are not naturally occurring phenomena; they are man made, and for thousands of years the greediest of men have made the rules governing how markets function.
China just switched to free capitalist markets after 1000's of years and instantly transformed 15 million human beings from starving to death to rich enough to buy cars. Its one of many very obvious examples.
Now we can see how truly brain dead liberalism is.
About as dead as human rights in China.
the liberal lost the debate so is trying to switch the subject to human rights from capitalist free markets. Do you think it was not obvious??
Also, the first human right is to have free markets so millions and millions don't slowly starve to death under liberal regulation.
Is it fair to say China's free market was birthed in Tiananmen Square?
"The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the June Fourth Incident in Chinese[1] were a series of demonstrations in and near Tiananmen Square in Beijing in the People's Republic of China (PRC) beginning on 15 April 1989..."
"Party authorities declared martial law on 20 May, but no military action took place until 4 June, when the People's Liberation Army moved into the streets of Beijing, using live fire while proceeding to Tiananmen Square to clear the area of protestors.
"The exact number of civilian deaths is not known, and the majority of estimates range from several hundred to thousands."

Progressives would argue free speech trumps free markets.
