    Who stopped Pol Pot?

    For that matter, who colonized Cambodia and Vietnam?

    Where are the memorials for the victims of French imperialism?

      Great whataboutism, but irrelevant to the question at hand

        The question at hand is “why are these French fascists pointing morons at communism when they’re trying to bring back empire” and the answer is “because dumbasses like you buy it and talk about whattaboutism when people point out their hypocrisy.”

        Might want to read that btw. You might find the “Defense” section interesting if you’re actually interested in honest rhetoric.

          No. The question at hand is, of course, my comment to which you replied; to exemplify these, Communist states that so champions Democracy and Human Rights. And I’m just waiting…

            If your definition of democracy is going out and vote every 4/5 yr (that fundamentally wont change anything) and then be suppressed by state, then sure you are enjoying democracy
