I’ve seen some communists support him and I cant understand why. Was he a communist? I really know next to nothing about him other than the killing fields(overview) and that Vietnam invaded them. That second part makes me doubt he was a communist but I want to know more and was wondering if anyone could give me some reading recommendations on the subject or just give me an overview that would be much appreciated.
So, Pol Pot was essentially what libs think Stalin was like?
I mean, thats a bit exaggerated. As i said, the famine deaths were due to carelessness and negligence, but werent intentional. Libs think Stalin willfully enginereed a famine to genocide ukrainians. So yeah, even Pol Pot, probably the most brutal and stupid “communist” after Gonzalo, is better than the western caricature of Stalin xD
