    Khmer Rouge is basically the archetype of the maniacal genocidal despotic party of incompetents liberals try to portray every communist government as

    Funnily enough they were also the only communist party I can think of to directly receive US support

      I read that the early Communist Party of China received some CIA support (namely money and guns) to finish off Chiang-Kai Shek’s fascist/nationalist movement during the later periods of the armed struggle.

      I’m still not quite sure what to think of the Khmer Rouge, but I read that they did collectivize agriculture.

          This is factual, Gonzalo actually took ownership of the event. I don’t wanna say responsibility because he still defended it, but SP did claim the massacre.

      I wouldn’t even put Shining path and Khmer Rouge in the same league as the rest of these parties. Like sure, all the others listed are crappy and have bad positions. SP and Pol Pot were committing literal Genocides and pogroms, it’s disingenuous to lump them together like this.

      I was in CPGB for about a year. Although I never saw any of that terf stuff and met lots of lovely people in my branch, it was bitterly disappointing to see parts of the party subscribe to that. I discovered all of this after I had left.

    Is a party calling itself a communist party enough to qualify even if it’s clearly not communist?
