    “The Khmer Rouge wasn’t communist” is another good one.

        Actually, the irony is that a lot of tankies also say that the KM wasn’t Marxist, but that Stalinist Russia and Maoist China were.

        Quite why, I couldn’t tell you.

          It’s the human rights abuse and genocide that really light their fire.

          They just also happen to be interested in leftist political ideas.
