Nothing you could be hinting at would actually be meaningful anyways or something not debunked a million times. Go ahead. holodomor, purges, North Korea, CCP / Uyghur / Social Credit / Tiananmen Square, Pol Pot, … Which is it? Cmon it’s okay!

    Pol Pot? the guy who was widely condemed by both China and the Soviet Union as a fascist masquerading as a comunist and completely ruined his country? That's a new level for yall

    Nobody is supporting Pol Pot here, the point is that anti-communists love using him against communists.

    Always love knowing I can drop a comment with minimal context and I got shooters out here that will pick up on the context for others. I couldn’t have explained this better myself, though I didn’t expect the pol pot one to be the bait. I should have put Che / Cuba or Sankara / Burkina Faso but the intention of my comment remains the same. You are absolutely correct.

    Mentioning his name means we support him? Wtf? OK, everyone make sure we never mention Adolf Hitler.

    Wait, shit, I said his name right there! Fuck!

    I guess you support He-who-shall-not-be-named, since you said his name after all. What a goofy comment lmao.

    I don't think China did that, the MFA usually has a strict "non-interference in internal affairs" as per the five principles of peaceful coexistence. Deng met with Pol Pot multiple times in the 80s. When Vietnam invaded Cambodia in Dec 1978, China did a retaliatory 28 day invasion of Vietnam in Feb 1979. Kim Il Sung even had the Changsuwon palace ready for Prince Sihanouk to stay in during the coalition government insurgency against Vietnam.

    To my knowledge: China, Korea, and most of ASEAN at the time supported Pol Pot and the coalition government, while the the Warsaw pact countries (except Romania), Albania, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and the current Hun Sen government condemed Pol Pot. Romania and Yugoslavia stayed neutral. It was a fairly even split on the issue for communist countries.

    do you understand what the word 'or' means? The commentor was clearly just listing common talking points anti-communists use. You are purposefully misconstruing their words because you can't engage in substantive conversation about an issue that your total amassed education on probably amounts to the literal meme above.
