When I meet leftists complaining about the USA I try to remember to ask them if they know anything about Cambodia. So far I have found none that know anything.

The evils of communism are never thought in schools, only Nazi’s
I find just as many, if not more parallels to the bloody, three generation dynastic regime of North Korea… Under the Korean Workers Party first Kim il sung then Kim Jong-il, and then Kim Jong un with a series of groupthink and cult worship and lack of individuality or freedom, a series of prison camps, neighborhood does, secret police, and oppressive treatment of political,
dissidents and deep anti-Christian religious persecution,… Probably the most shocking thing in my life (next to the bloody April 17 fall of Pnomn Penh and march to the countryside) is to see an American president actually naively cozy up to that shit, and be completely silent and not condemn it but consider it somehow as a personal “friend “. Vomiting.
If they could get away with it, the American left would bring exactly the same brutality against its political enemies as well.
These are the kinds of things that are already happening in our schools.
“...the American left would bring exactly the same brutality against its political enemies...”
Agree 100%. And they are not even trying to hide that anymore.
The lessons of Khmer Rouge and of communist China and even Soviet Russia, are things that democrat leaders and subversive leftists know quite well.
What those evil dictatorships did are in the minds of democrats and progressives and communists in America.
We must remember that, the democrats of today are not the same as from decades ago. Today’s democrats will do anything that furthers their agenda, including murdering the masses that oppose them. We are no longer talking about law-abiding, constitution-loving democrats; these people are the same as the evil countries that do ‘whatever it takes’. Whatever it takes includes social engineering that eliminates the opposition with whatever means possible.
Democrats are not about democracy; they are about total control of the people, and to do that, they have to cleanse the population of any opposition. The opposition is the republicans/conservatives/independents and any other groups that do no submit to their will.
The democrats’ opposition refuse to recognize the evil that exists in that party, and we’ll be paying the price unless we wake up to that reality.
Yes exactly true.
In my school I complained to the Principal as literally weeks were used to teach the horrors of the Holocaust and ALL students were required to read Diary of Ann Frank. Yet on the 8th grade graduation day a long haired boy proudly wore a T-Shirt with a HUGE red hammer and sickle on the front as he received some trivial award on the stage in front of the student body.
As a staff member my complaint was ignored.
They had to hide in the jungles and endlessly move about.
Even after the Khmer Rouge were gone there was still war and soldiers running around causing trouble.
One time when she was just 4 or 5 at a market a soldier told her to give him a watermelon, and she said to him “the watermelon is not ripe yet”, he then proceeded to put his AK to her head and repeat his demand ... so she gave him the watermelon ... think of that for a moment if you were 5 years old how that would affect you.
Most of her family and friends were luck to get across to Thailand during that time living in refugee camps for years and then going back to Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge were gone, but life was still very difficult.
I can tell you she is so glad to be in America and can not comprehend the idiot kids of this country not being thankful for what they have.
The amazing thing is the large numbers of psychos ready and willing to execute the wishes of the chief psychos.
The Khmer Rouge called itself “Democratic” just as today’s Left call themselves “liberals”. But they’re revolutionaries just the same, wanting only to destroy whatever is traditional. They want to repeat only the ugliest parts of history.
An excellent point, which can be modified with the remembrance that much of the "philosophy" underpinning the Khmer Rouge came directly out of French university Leftists' ugly minds. After all, "rouge" is not a Cambodian word, but like all the 20th century Communists, plain old "red." And in this case, of the French intellectual class, perverts, authoritarians and yet cosseted by --- THE UNIVERSITIES.
And those on the left actually believe they saved lives by stopping the Vietnam War.
“NEVE AGAIN!” and then came the genocide in Cambodia then NEVER AGAIN and then came Rwanda.
He sat across from me and we had this conversation:
ME: "Do you know who that is on your t-shirt?"
NEPHEW: "Yeah...um...some kind of revolutionary guy."
ME: His name was Che Guevara. He was Fidel Castro's right hand man. You know who Fidel Castro was, don't you?"
NEPHEW: "Sure."
ME: Do you know what Che Guevara was known for? What his job was?
NEPHEW: "Umm...no."
ME: "His job was to find people who didn't like his boss, pull them and their family out of bed in the middle of the night, line them up in front of a wall, and murder them. Men, women, children."
NEWPHEW: "Oh. Er, I just like the shirt."
Yes. When it comes to murder, the Nazis were pikers compared to the Communists.
That in fact is the American left’s current end goal. It may take 5, 10, 50, or 100 years to pull it off but that is the trajectory they are on and given enough time, demographic shifts, and a further shift of the Overton Window, they will go for it.
NEVER disarm under any circumstances and beware of naive or even malevolent preachers in churches who try to use a twisting of Romans chapter 13 to tell you you are going to hell if you do not turn in or register your guns if the givernment tells you to do so.
They saved Communists’ lives which was their goal. No other lives were or are worth saving.
