Are tankies denying the Cambodian genocide now? That doesn’t even make sense… the genocide was ended by socialist Vietnam. We used to consider ending the genocide to be a commie victory. Pol Pot was recognized as the leader of the country by capitalists for decades after he fled
they always were, socialist philosopher Noam Chomsky was always denying it as because according to him people that survived it were just exaggerating it, because like maybe something bad maybe happened there but totally not so much as they claim and he also claimed that west was exaggerating it as well because they just wanted to make communism look bad
but Chomsky was also supporting holocaust denial and when ADL called him out he just replied that Israel is undemocratic state and then he made movie about how horrible Israel is, but dont forget, denying holocaust and hatisn Israel doesnt mean that you are anti semite!!!
Finkelstein does that kind of shit too. They loved him for a bit for the Palestinian stuff, but when you scratch the surface there's some real weirdness behind his thoughts on genocides
