      Ok, I was making fun of you earlier, but now I’m genuinely interested.

      Explain to me why you think Democratic Kampuchea was a Socialist State, and I presume, didn’t actually commit a genocide.

      Because as far as I’ve ever been able to tell, pol pot apologia tends to be fairly flimsy, and be coming more from a place of defending China’s position after the Sino-Soviet split, rather than Cambodia itself.

      How about the Vietnamese-backed state of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea? Was it Socialist? Why or why not?
