siding with the great Satan and fascists is bad

Claiming they sided with fascists is fucking absurd. Don't spread this revisionist shit all you're doing is reinforcing anticommunism.

Are we saying that the khmer rouge are not fascists? Because I don't feel comfortable calling them anything but fascist.

I read your comment as referring to the soviets not china. I still don't understand why you even brought them into it though. It reads like trying to cause as much drama as possible.

First off, obviously. Secondly I'm bringing in China because someone mentioned the split. I can't actually follow my own thread since it won't show me who replied to who except the newest post. Also why would I mention any bad things the Soviets did when I'm arguing that he didn't do anything wrong.

God I hate this bug.

I think they're referring to Chinese support of the Khmer Rouge. Obviously they're not the ones who engineered the coup that put Pol Pot's faction in power (see America), but not siding with the USSR and Vietnam against them was a p big L.

I didn't read it as that because it's a really weird non sequitur. Like someone just dumping as many controversial things into the thread as possible.

Correct, this isn't a serious discussion, I don't genuinely disagree with everything Kruschev did other than sending the tanks into Hungary and supporting Cuba, nor attribute everything the USSR did during that time to Kruschev; I imagine H3doubehockeysticks has more nuanced takes on the USSR and China.
