Khmer Rouge is basically the archetype of the maniacal genocidal despotic party of incompetents liberals try to portray every communist government as
Funnily enough they were also the only communist party I can think of to directly receive US support
I read that the early Communist Party of China received some CIA support (namely money and guns) to finish off Chiang-Kai Shek's fascist/nationalist movement during the later periods of the armed struggle.
I'm still not quite sure what to think of the Khmer Rouge, but I read that they did collectivize agriculture.
Perfect time for BlowBack season 5
