    Nope he was not, though I think we all agree he was an asshole, though he did have to do something about the starvation in the country.

    It is kind of wrong, but I think there is not too much more to say about our opportunist friend.

    But Benrefe, If you have anything to say about Mr. Pot, please, fire away...

    And this sentence has no meaning, just like the last one.

    God it is impossible to finish a statement...

    And I just got Ninja'd

    Twice

    Are you saying Pol Pot is your buddy? Because that's cool and all its just, your like sprinkling sarcasm in your replies...

    And why does everyone butcher my name!

    Oh god, are you a prophet of sarcasm?

    You should start a cult with you as leader and refer to yourself as the great sarcasm'er.

    And do a cornholio walk and demanding sarcasm from all cultists.

    edit- Viking , Your going on....

    Nah but really this topic is going the drain, the art of self awareness.. AND KNOWING IS THE HALF THE BATTLE!

    Pol Pot was a communist, a few parts of his brand of communism was his own however. If you don't believe me pull out your Communist Manifesto and start a checklist. He will get many more than you would like.

    To be honest he was a opportunist, well a Cambodian version of Khrushchev.

    I really don't think it matters weather or not he was Communist, in the end he killed thousands of people.

    If Pol Pot had been a mass murderer for the sole reason of it being similar to Communism, I wouldn't consider it that at all. Is this an ideological debate that you drive me in to just so you can compare me and the entire Left wing to every lunatic on the face of this Earth, past and present? I'm getting real tired of calling this person left, and this person right to explain why they did what they did through political ideology.
