the year 0 was a good idea

He was a Maoist. He messed with Vietnam and Vietnam put an end to him and his government. Then China tries to attack Vietnam, and gets defeated by Vietnam.

was pol pot retarded?

as an ex-commie i never understood how he was planning to reach communism by deindustrializing and building kolkhozes. i mean, that's literally not real communism

Agrarian Society you bourgeois fuck.

Reminder that the US supported Pol Pot, and that the people ultimately defeated the Khmer Rogue savages were the same guerillas who defeated the US during the Vietnam war.

communalism works best in the primitive scale, I can understand why he did it

What is this? Fucking amateur hour?

>my brand of communism is the true one!

Just imagine for one moment, you're tied to a wooden pole in the middle of a large football stadium, in front of you are several soldiers dressed as (pic related) and from the main speakers you can here the following song:

I mean how do you comprehend that?

>not understand the glory of burger tactics

Communism is all about feels

Imagine being a Peruvian philosophy professor, watching what Pol Pot had done in Cambodia and saying: "You know what, this is exactly what my country needs"

And so the Sendero Luminoso was born. If it wasn't for Alberto Fujimori, we would have another monster for this gallery of retards.

>After Amin's death, David Owen revealed that when he was the British Foreign Secretary he had proposed having Amin assassinated. He has defended this, arguing: "I'm not ashamed of considering it, because his regime goes down in the scale of Pol Pot as one of the worst of all African regimes"
>in the scale of Pol Pot

Let's be fair though, we're talking about a variation of Maoism. Communism is a theory suited to more urban industrial areas rather than rural areas given the context of the time period.

Mobutu didnt kill 25% of his population in 4 years. Thats a special kind of dedication.

>pic shows the population of Phnom Penh

Africa is really cheating tho...

>Supported Pol Pot
After the Vietnam War had ended, and even then as only a part of the broad coalition fighting the Vietnamese which included former royalists and moderates.
>Same guerrillas
This meme needs to fucking die. The PAVN was not a guerrilla force, it was a regular army. The NLF was the guerrilla force that was to work in tandem with the regular army, and the NLF got the shit kicked out of them at Tet.
Well we weren't too happy about Vietnam, so we decided to make their occupation of Cambodia as shitty as possible while simultaneously embargoing them. The culmination of this probably helped them to unfuck their retarded economy in the 80's when they began to see the true light of capitalism.

From what I understand, Marxism is based on the idea of taking over from capitalism and building on top of its gains, not reversing course to primitive times and trying to build communism from scratch. Of course, that's just Marxism, not communism in general.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Caldwell
>He was a consistent critic of American foreign policy, a campaigner for Asian communist and socialist movements, and a supporter of the Khmer Rouge.
If he was a consistent critic of American foreign policy, why did he support the Khmer Rouge?

>[Bokassa's father] decided that he would no longer follow French orders. He released some of his fellow villagers who were being held hostage by the Forestière. The company considered this to be a rebellious act, so they detained Mgboundoulou, and took him away bound in chains to Mbaïki.[3] On 13 November 1927, he was beaten to death in the town square just outside the prefecture office.
>As a boy of 9, Nguema saw his father punched to death by a Spanish colonial administrator when he tried to use his title of chief to negotiate for better wages for his people.
Fucking Europeans created a bunch of psychopaths before they left Africa.

Pol Pot was a good dude but cmon man can he real beat Idi Amin?

"Only several thousand Kampucheans might have died due to some mistakes in implementing our policy of providing an affluent life for the people."

"I came to join the revolution, not to kill the Cambodian people. Look at me now. Am I a violent person? No. So, as far as my conscience and my mission were concerned, there was no problem."

But pol pots people didn't do that, it was anti-commies that killed him. Maoism is still retarded though

That's not what the Wikipedia article says.

>Had soldiers dressed in Santa Claus outfits execute political opponents in the main football stadium while the song "Those were the Days" by Mary Hopkins was playing.

truth really is stranger than fiction

What the fuck is Africa's problem

I heard his last reported words were "at least it wasn't real communis-"

Literally both of those guys had their fathers executed by Western colonial authorities.
Not to say they would have turned out great otherwise, but still... makes you go "hmm".

I still maintain that colonialism was a net positive in general but damn man, europoors needed to chill out some times

It was an art installation

Nice revisionism.

Are there any proper good dictators left? Qaddafi seems like the last one.

I've got bad news for you...

*Seemed
Also not trying to start a "le trump is a dictator xddd" shitstorm, but he understands the importance of bling.

Assad doesn't dress like an imbecile or do anything that's actually batshit insane (remember that immoral /= insane) but his followers and his admirers treat him like a hero

Then it has very little to do with the original Marxian Communism (which was inherently tied to industrial capitalism) and basically seems like an exaggerated form of MLM.

How did they manage the increase from 1978 to 1980?

As I quoted here his regime was one of the worst of all African regimes (at the time), but the scale is named after Pol Pot, so I doubt he upstaged him in atrocities, though he definitely had superior title.

Kim I guess.

And I dont know what goes on in Sudan.

Central asians and venezuelans too

>Qaddafi
he got FREEDOM'd years ago man, have you not read the news in a few years?
but North Korea is the only batshit crazy state left of the old school

Fujimori is 100% getting out this 28 mark my words.

Eritrea is pretty bad

t. the red guard

>kills off the urban fags
heh yeah sure was crazy...

Marxist never gave a fuck about peasant.
Fuck the peasant class. It's these retards that hold back society as a whole with their retarded beliefs on traditions.
Every other class has more fucking value than these mouth breathers.

Bullshit.
We should have just planted the idea of nationalism into their fucking heads and left. After a few centuries, we would have fully functioning nation-states in Africa with fewer ethnic identities and languages.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing is the only answer. Doesn't have to be physical and homicidal, but it needs to happen in order for progress to occur.

Fuck no. I bet he died thinking he deserved it. Some of these nutters need to be lynched, there is no cure for their retardation, not even death.

Not even. It was based on the assumption that Cambodians were racially superior to everyone else. Cambodians had always been farmers, it follows that farming is superior to every other form of economic activity.
Their ultra-racialism and ultra-nationalism would perplex Hitler himself.

Why Santa Claus outfits in the first place

they moved the displaced population back to the city. Still impressive he killed 25% of his total population in 4 years. Not to mention he died peacefully without any trial for his crimes.

fuck meant to respond to

>Genocide and ethnic cleansing is the only answer. Doesn't have to be physical and homicidal
Ah, do tell about that non-physical, non-homicidal genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Nationalism, like communism, is a disease of the mind whose effect is mass murder.

Because he kicked everybody out beforehand to go become affluent farmers in the countryside,

Teodoro Obiang, the president of Equitorial Guinea, although not as batshit insane as the previous one, he is still pretty fucked up.
He spoke in tv about how proud and happy he is to be a dictator and that there is almost no torture in Guinea (almost laughing his ass off).

>muh ebil whitei!

>nationalism is a disease of the mind

Oh wow, you sure are progressive.

SO YOU'VE BEEN TO SCHOOL FOR A YEAR OR TOO

They're black. The other guy rants about "muh trauma, muh ebil whites" but literally all african leaders have been like this since before the times of colonialism (except the smart ones don't act like clowns). Look at Shaka Zulu, he was like all those monsters, just less comical because he wasn't retarded. Look at the bambara slaver states. Chief brutality is inherent to Africa (and not even unique to them).

It's true. Look at the greatest nation to ever exist, the US. No proper nationalism with state pride, just a blob of states under the flag "United States of America". The country don't even have a proper name. This is the kind of nationalism we should foster all over the world. Not a pride for a nation but just a senseless pride for your fellow man that's not rooted in anything outside of living close to each other, no matter their color, background or religion.

you obviously do not live in the US, nationalism here is fucking through the roof.

Plausible deniability bro

>Then China tries to attack Vietnam, and gets defeated by Vietnam
It's the other way around actually, but some can also argue that the main force of Vietnam wasn't in homeland and China caught them by surprised. Nevertheless, the small scale conflicts continued to 90, and Vietnamese didn't get any advantages from that, but Cambodian communists couldn't never regain the power as well.

>but the scale is named after Pol Pot

Now I am actually wondering if the song is based on this.
They recorded it in 79, one year after the incident.

Not him, but I think you mean patriotism

What a loser.

>expecting something different for american "democracy".

This is the president you deserve burger.

Yes he is we deserve an actual president rather than the piece of shit we had for the past 8 years.

>contracted his own companies for government programs, essentially pocketing taxes
Is that legal? Doesn't sound legal

>>climate denier
I'm pretty sure Trump thinks that climates exist

You left out the best part
>During Macías Nguema's government, the country had neither a development plan nor an accounting system for government funds. After the killing of the governor of the Central Bank, he carried everything that remained in the national treasury to his house in a rural village.

He was a utopian socialist who wanted to wind back capitalism rather than replace it with something newer.

Pol Pot certainly wasn't a Marxist and was obsessed with French philosophy. He wanted to create a communism as laid out by Proudhon, Babeuf, and arguably Rousseau.

You really think Africa would be better off as thousands of homogeneous nation states, versus 20 heterogeneous states?

Everywhere on the planet, leaders tend to be people who are charismatic and well-connected, rather than skilled or well-educated.

In a region with as little development as Africa, demagogues sometimes rise to power with absolutely no political experience or understanding.

If he does get impeached (which probably will not happen) it would be for something like this, not Russia

Kino

Then why don't you go burn down all your ID cards, passport and national flags? You fucking cuck.

>t. rootless cosmopolitan whore

>talking about a mass murderer that no sane non-faggot defends
>leftypol defends him and deflects to Trump
Pottery

>the US. No proper nationalism with state pride...
This is what leftcuck / libercuck actually believe....

They not only have "state pride" but also have rampant "faggot pride" same as Europe, which is even more toxic and disgusting nowadays.

He was too pure for this shitty world.

Patriotism, not nationalism you stupid fuck

Lol

Khmer Rouge fell in 1979, people started returning to the cities. They didn't just massacre the cities they relocated them to small villages to form an agrarian society.

Sounds like something out of a metal gear solid game.

He tried to develop his nation a bit, but he ended up basically pay his citizens not to riot. Hardly among the best.

The Burmese dictator had a fear of integers of 5, he made his money in denominations of THREES.

>" His full self-bestowed title ultimately became: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"

>record scratch
>freeze frame
>now you're probably wondering how i got in this situation

If he's such a communist, why is his name /pol/ pot?

>Lefty/pol/ pot

Pol Pot stands for Political Potential, which is what French Marxists called him.

Eradicating a culture is a form of genocide/ethnic cleansing and it doesn't require massacring the population to accomplish it. Look at Latin America.
