They never had a thing to brag about, given that Ho Chi Minh was *co-founder* of the **FRENCH** Communist Party, where two decades later the Khmer Rouge heirarchy of Pol Pot, Kieu Samphan, Son Sen, and several others became good little student Commies in Paris, and then brought Bac Ho's murderous ideology back to Cambodia.
Later, when the fledgling Cambodian mass murderers and Commies needed aid and comfort and training, they turned once again to Ho Chi Minh, back in Vietnam and now *founder* and leader of the Communist Party Of *INDOCHINA* as well as leader of the Viet Minh.
So you see, the Khmer Rouge was actually the bastard child of Ho Chi Minh.
