Give me an atrocity committed by leftist forces, and I’ll justify it for you.
You are taking the Khmer Rouge in a vacuum instead of respecting the complexity of the situation. Khmer Rouge was the result of a combination of ethnic warfare between Laotians, Vietnamese, the USA bombing and fucking the shit out of the region right before the communist party took over, and Khmer that had been going on before the Europeans colonized and destabilized the region, and a newly formed and unconsolidated Communist party. I am not justifying what happened, but pretending it is a “Leftist Genocide” and not the culmination of a ton of fucked shit that had been destroying the region is revisionist.

The comment is 9 words my dude. It very clearly does not say this.
Are you saying Mao and the PRC should have supported the Khmer Rogue to the extent they did?
I didn’t read your comment well and took your reference to the Khmer Rouge as if it was your response to “an atrocity committed by leftist forces.” I am sorry.
