Look at the life expectancy over time for any communist country like Cuba, Russia, China, etc. and you'll see that despite the capitalist propaganda, life expectancy improved dramatically once the communists took power.
Nobody actually cares about Pol Pot, the suffering that Cambodians have to undergo for complete submission to the US Dollar and being stuck in perpetual poverty is far worse than anything the short-lived Khmer Rouge did which at least attempt to break that cycle not afforded to other imperialized countries.
pol pot was supported by the CIA, this outcome was a feature, not a bug.
Idk I'm willing to defend Gonzalo and mlms a little but I'm pretty sure pol pot was not it. I'm not clouded by bougie judgment I just haven't ever seen any evidence that the Khmer Rouge wasn't absolutely dog shit.
What if I do think that Khmer Rouge is not understood well by Communists and Communists can not historicize it so we let bourgeoise research cloud our judgement? This is the opportunism that lurks behind anti-gonzaloism as its completely giving up any type of truth and we just let reactionary discourses run amok since they were failures.

That’s a lot of words to defend a murderer who bastardized socialism and was funded by the CIA.
Uh huh and next you'll say Pol pot was a very misunderstood fella

The Khmer Rouge, not so much.
That’s putting it mildly.
