I've decided to read some Michael Vickery's "Cambodia: 1975-1982"... so far, the Khmer Rouge doesn't seem to be well organized, as groups, let alone under one leadership, even after the Second Indochinese Civil War, and one damban in Cambodia can turn from okay to hell, and vice versa, depending on the region fertility and leadership strife...
Something something, this guy fights against anti-Rouge myths, such as by Francois Ponchaud, that Cambodia was going to become de-industrialized, though this is not to say he doesn't criticize the Pol Pot regime...
Edit: I hope I do not sound like I speak in bad faith...
I still hate the Khmer Rouge, tbh
Khmer Rouge was not communism and we should avoid discussion of it as a matter of optics
Tbh, I don't care about optics.
I don't like the Khmer Rouge, but discuss it if you want.
I'm a communist. I didn't become a political minority for the sake of "optics."
Jaysus wept, I didn't know such optic rules came to place... welp, I'll just stop talkin' about it in this comm...
Oh fair.
Edit: Actually, nvm.
Who would not? They attacked Vietnam many a time, before they had to resort to invasion, and disregarded socialist solidarity, in favor of collaboration with the West...
Yeah and were later supported by the CIA.
