Wtf, lmao. The only people calling pol pot communist are liberals.
TIL Marxist-Leninists (which Pol Pot was) are not communist.
It’s worth remembering when pol pot was offered access to the entire library of the cpc he just said “nah, I got this”.
Turning down the chance to read some dry, boring books on political economy is about the least communist thing a person can do. It’s only beaten by arguing about that shit and making a split when the argument gets heated.
No one called them communist here, they are just calling out people who are apologists for genocide.
