Again, it's big brain thinking to disregard the consequences of American support for Pol Pot and it will be pointed out to people who try and point score with simple commie bashing nonsense.

How do you feel about Suharto in Indonesia? Similarly carried a massive butchering of his own people that could not have happened without American support. In fact it was carefully fostered and promoted. The difference between the two was that Suharto was killing "communists".

I’d say a good few oppressed Irish men took part in that genocide. Feel free to express your guilt.

On that subject, I remember reading something recently that stated 33 Irishmen died at the Little Bighorn with Custer.
As is well known of course is that Custer and his scumbags were trying to get into the camp where the Indian women and kids were when he got trapped after finding it impossible to cross the river.

Why do I get the feeling you're trying to insult people?
Can you not just discuss this like grownups?

Just because someone sees things differently than you doesn't mean they're stupid, or wrong.

The British were straight over to South East Asia after the Second World War murdering Vietnamese trade unionists, communists and strikers in preparation for reconquest by France. The French themselves conducted one of the most abominable occupations ever in Algeria. Started out with mass murder and systematic rape in the 1880s and only ended in the '60s with a hundred and fifty thousand dead Algerian freedom fighters.

Well if you remove 90% of my posts content and focus on those parts it could look that way, especially if someone was inclined to take something personally, but that’s not the case I’m sure.

This always reminds me of comparing strikers...
Pol Pot is Wayne Rooney... Hitler is Ronaldo... Stalin is Fat Ronaldo..... but then they all have to bow to the one who came before them...
The GOAT Pelé.... aka Genghis Khan
The man who slaughtered 10%. (almost 40 million) of the world's population....
and add to that be was a little bit rapey....his DNA is detected in over 16 million males today....it's no contest really

They had very many followers and admirers in Europe during the honeymoon period after coming to power. The Workers Party and the Communist Party of Ireland both sent messages of congratulations to Pol Pot on coming to power.

You saw a lot of that with British scientists and Stalin. Naive intellectuals really believed everyone could work together in a way that didn't completely **** over the poor like capitalism, but they had a Potemkin village view of it all in practice. The result being Soviet spy rings.

The US dropped more bombs on Cambodia than they did during the entire Pacific campaign of WW2 - and that included two nukes.

I always saw that fact as more than WW2 in general, not just the Pacific campaign.

In 1997 a Khmer Rouge splinter group captured Pol Pot and placed him under house arrest.
He died in his sleep on April 15, 1998, at age 72 due to heart failure.

A United Nations-backed tribunal has convicted only a handful of Khmer Rouge leaders of crimes against humanity

If you're ever over that way I'd recommend a visit to S-21,a sobering experience

I visited Aushwitz (spelling?) and while I’m glad I went I wouldn’t have much interest in going back. It was grim. Didn’t really hit me until a few days later. It wasn’t just the amount of death it was the things they used to do to the prisoners. Stuff you couldn’t even imagine. Tuol Sleng and the killing fields sounds like it’s on a different level.

Early Christian communities would have fit that description.

But they couldn't be ruled properly, hence the Roman catholic church became a thing.


Yes ...Jesus was a communist
