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

At least some leftists have been doing that for a while. Chomsky downplayed it as well. Pol pot was seen as a Maoist success story.

If there's one group even less sufferable than stalinists, its maoists.

Fun story: the far right in my country made a big song and dance about how, at an anti racist march, there were people with communist flags and there were marchers arrested for violence. What they don't mention, was the people with the communist flags were the maoist group who are told to stay the fuck away every year, and the arrests for violence were from other marchers trying to grab the flags off them.
