The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

Quite ironic, when you think about it… - the working class defeating the communist party!
Tankies when the people being told heirarchy is bad and steals the value of your labor when people actually believe it and try to abolish it:
Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.
Having to live in an authoritarian shithole takes its toll on you after a while.
