Horseshoe theory is horseshit, and Pol pot was as much a communist as Hitler was a socialist, which is to say not at all.

I never claimed he was. My point is that it doesn't matter what particular holy book any genocidal maniac waves around.

Neither Stalin nor Mao were genocidal. Famines had been a common occurrence in Russia and China throughout recorded history. Soon after their socialist revolutions, Russia and China experienced one more famine, and have not experienced one since. They ended famines.

Well, Russia experienced two more, but one of them was very directly due to WWII

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I have nothing to say to that.
