    Did he forget that communism always removed the inteligent, as in literate and schooled people, from anywhere? Jesus, I’m ashamed that I share a nationality with this guy.

          International testing orgs.

          If you think Pol Pot was a socialist you haven’t looked into the actual policies he implemented. It is like people claiming Hitler was a socialist.

            He claimed to be one and was supported by the soviet union, as did some other braindead regimes. I don’t doubt it was a red fascism or even tribalism. It’s just concerning that killing off clever people kinda tracks with red-painted authorities.

              He claimed to be one

              And Hitler called himself a national socialist.

              I don’t doubt it was a red fascism or even tribalism.

              As someone who had family in a concentration camp, this is offensive and minimizes the holocaust. Fascists and socialists are not morally equivalent, stop calling socialists red fash.

              It’s just concerning that killing off clever people kinda tracks with red-painted authorities.

              No, socialists are genuinely in favor of suppressing the bourgeoisie and reactionary elements. If you think “kill smart people” is socialism than it is unsurprising you think Pol Pot was a socialist.
