Thank you. I think a real part of the genius of Mao is shifting the continuation of the class struggle to the cultural sphere, to inside the Party and inside ourselves after the initial seizure of political power, when it was a much more external struggle of violence. As for the footage you were asking about in the premiere, here is the source! ruclips.net/video/3n4aOXxErvs/видео.htmlsi=sUjgVqvHIGvyAu8K
Democratic Kampuchea’s path to socialism-communism was correct and sound . Democratic Kampuchea, next to revolutionary Soviet Union of pre 1953 and revolutionary China of pre 1976 was an independent and free country .
Under Sihanouk they implemented policies which were similar to Gaddafi's ideology, it was stable, and even though it was a monarchy he implemented a lot of Socialist policies
He wasn't bad for a monarch, he allied with the Khmer Rouge twice and probably a good reason why even once he resigned the Democratic Kampuchea government didn't kill him
Whenever people talk about the history of this area, many tend to dismiss the brutal history Vietnam had done to the area. During the 1500s-1800s the Vietnamese expanded their empire and drove the Champas to near extinction and colonized Kampuchea Krom and Southern Cambodia and in these areas put in Vietnamese settlers and kicked out the native Khmers and Champa ever since.

@@MCP-MZT Even in Haz's discord the topic is censored. Apparently even discord censors the topic. No idea why though. I just don't see why would a western company care about censoring info about polpot.
what is the source for the Pollanen studies showcased at ~11:40 i’ve combed through the sources provided in the description and may have missed it. Any help would be appreciated
I think the fact the war never really ended and that there were large areas controlled by the Khmer Rouge until the 90s and still are some is evidence enough.
Thank you thank you thank you. Can’t give enough thank you’s for how long I’ve waited for all the nonsense around Pol Pot to be debunked in one easily accessible area. This is a major win for all the genuine communists who have known this and have had insults thrown at them by people with no knowledge on this topic.
You're very welcome mate, glad it can be helpful and hopefully it can be a good resource to send people who make the same accusations addressed in here.
I can assure you, im no liberal and i agree that "scary red asian dictator" is a trope as tired as they get. With that being said, Pol Pot was a scary red asian dictator.

@@MCP-MZT I read more about the topic and while ofc pol-pot didn't murder 2 milion people and all that nonsense, he wasn't a great leader either, and did a mistake after mistake, stemming from not following ML/MLM (almost. only at surface level the party followed it, because they didn't have a deep understanding) ideology at all

I do have something to say. If the Cambodian Revolution was still going on And year zero completed that means Cambodia would have been a huge powerhouse today
30:23 it's still highly speculative, but there's interview with some of the highest Khmer Rouge members Sadly can't remember his exact name, but he said that Pol Pot and his wife at the time "weren't married", because they lived too separately (due to war and governance hardships, ofc) So, I suppose, they were pretty materialistic in that regard.
@@MCP-MZT You should make a video about Zimbabwean Marxist and Maoist freedom fighters who liberated Zimbabwe from racist white colonizers. My grandpa was a Soviet military advisor who trained those partisans
Excellent…but Iran isn’t a relevant example…yes, some compradors were executed because of their military or intelligence capabilities…but many were kept alive, who were later incorporated into the reactionary regime of the reactionary mullahs, the same mullahs who never suffered a deadly backhand blow by the shah's regime who percieved mullahs as a tool in its fight against the democratic/socialist/communist advances of the people of Iran . The reactionary regime of mullah’s instead killed democratic/socialist/communist movements in big number .
What’s even the point of defending him as a Marxist tho Pol Pot admitted that he didn’t even understand Marxist thought and he had been backed by the west… I like him tho because he’s funnt
We have a Khmer Rouge/Pol Pot apologist. Only issue is you can't explain all the deaths. Because 2 million were not all "executed" doesn't mean 2 million didn't actually die or parish under the Pol Pot/ Khmer Rouge regime. You are not Khmer you don't know the truth. How dare you try to excuse the atrocities of this maniac and his cadre. Communism is poison!
I demonstrated that it is not possible for two million to have died at all under Pol Pot based on the amount who died in bombing and famine in the war with Vietnam and the population reached later, how impossibly high the birth rate would have to be. Watch the video again more carefully.
@@MCP-MZT the famine happened during Pol Pot's regime not under war with Vietnam. It's documented in the documentary titled Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia. Where was the rice that was farmed from 1975-1979 sent? China. China took all the rice and left the Cambodians with enough to live a shadow of an existence. My parents lived through this period and have first hand knowledge of Pol Pot and the atrocities his Communist regime inflicted upon the Cambodian people. For you to try to reason Pol Pot's insanity is horrendous and disgusting to say the least. Please research fully before making ridiculous claims. Your communist propaganda is immoral and backwards.
@@HENGBUNG See 6:46 in the video. I feel like you just don't like the title but did not actually watch the video at all. The UN survey determined that 500,000 died directly from famine in 1979, which I trust more than "silent death of Cambodia". Democratic Kampuchea also accepted food aid from China, even Phillip Short, I'm sure one of your favourites, mentioned this. As for your parents annecdote - I don't buy this whole trauma bombing thing when it coems to debates. If you have that grief, fine, keep that in your heart. But it proves nothing in a discussion or advances it in any way. I don't know who the heck you are, keep it professional, don't air out all your personal trauma to weaponise it to win internet debates. Do you have any shame? We provide no sympathy in the realm of a rational debate. Weaponising victimhood is pathetic no matter what happened to you. "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you." - Marx
@@MCP-MZT you use stats from an unreliable source to prove Chinas innocence in their support of Pol Pot. I have accounts of actual people who went through thr entire 3 plus years and witnessed the cruelty and horror of the Commies. How does numbers off a Chinese propaganda fact sheet take precedent over first hand accounts from living survivors? Your logic is flawed. We live in reality not on paper.
@@MCP-MZT all former supporters of Pol Pot that you derive your information from have recanted their support. If only you actually did some REAL research. It’s all over the internet. But I guess if your in China you don’t get all the information as the Chinese have banned information and knowledge that undermines their authority, albeit truthfully.
To understand the killings in cambodia is nesesary to understand the khmer pysche. In his book author Hiang S Ngor " a Cambodian odyssey " he clearly explains " Kum" a Word in the khmer language that means to take revenge on someone's inicial offence say if someone slapped me in the face i would stab or even shoot the person back as retribution multiplying the revenge in excess of the original offence. Evidence can be seen in pre revolution years with Cambodian fank troops dissembowling khmer Rouge corpse removing and even eating thier livers and decapitating prisioners in both newsreels video and photografical evidence. ( Not for the squemish) Again the killings and mistreatment etc was not a polítical incident as much a cultural one.
""Any married woman could stay close to their parents" was one of the privilege that they believed to have. "Many believed that the status as a wife would reduce the burden of word"" So, did this privilege actually exist or people just thought it existed ?

As a fellow Brit this is disgusting and you know it is. I don’t know if this video is merely for attention but how can you make some of these statements when the amount of evidence is astonishing. You should be ashamed.
@@DannyBoiMort one of those third world era might be forgiven, but oh no, being Brits we ought to be more "enlightened" with all we have avaliable to us?
@@MCP-MZT how are you denying literal hundreds of thousands of Cambodian people’s stories and physical evidence. This is worse than Holocaust denial and it makes me so sad.
@@DannyBoiMort Yeah I don't deny the extremeness of brutality given in accounts, but the numbers are totally made up. I don't defend the violence often occurring but this is like condemning Mao because of the thuggery of red guards. How much was senseless local violence vs Central orders? Decentralisation to such an extent that lower level cadres would use the events to settle grudges. In the video you can see quoted documents of the Party centre ordering the end to such local brutality, just as Mao did during the Cultural Revolution. But what I am sympathetic to and interested in is year zero, returning to the countryside to rebuild the industrial base from scratch.
Do you understand the concept of dialectical materialism? If yes why do you deny so much things that happened and went wrong? Instead of trying to defend this and deny everything with suppositions based on almost nothing try to search on why it went that way and think of actual solutions What you are defending is only your idealisation of Democratic Kampuchea and thinking that way hasn't anything to do with materialism What a communist would do is think with a dialectical materialist way of thinking the world, help with current struggles for the working class and all oppressed part of a given society (like Lenin did with the muslims living under the Russian empire) I saw some of your videos, you seem to be attacking lgbtq and what you would call western decadence a lot Now let's think with a materialist way of thinking, do you think attacking lgbtq helps more the working class or the far right? I think the answer is pretty obvious, this is completely far right rethoric This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the far right wasn't rising and being normalised pretty much everywhere but it is in fact If you really are a communist then you should focus on what we can do in the current state of the world, stop eating in the far right hand by defending their point of view on some of their predilected subjects and actually do something to stop them growing even more For the moment all I can see is someone who idealise the past and phantasm on some esthetics If anything this is just fascism covered with red paint
You use words you dont even know the meaning of, use them incorrectly, use unrelated examples. All this to defend your world view taught to you by those with a financial interest to decieve you. You dont do your own research. You cannot disprove anything states here. You cannot think critically. You go off topic. You make terms with meaning into buzzwords because you believe Communism is some form of evolved liberal progress. Therefore you accept the liberal deceitful version of history as Communism is naturally the continuation of liberalism in your mind. You arent a communist youre a redlib and you just exposed yourself.

Do you understand the concept of dialectical materialism?
If yes why do you deny so much things that happened and went wrong? Instead of trying to defend this and deny everything with suppositions based on almost nothing try to search on why it went that way and think of actual solutions
What you are defending is only your idealisation of Democratic Kampuchea and thinking that way hasn't anything to do with materialism
What a communist would do is think with a dialectical materialist way of thinking the world, help with current struggles for the working class and all oppressed part of a given society (like Lenin did with the muslims living under the Russian empire)
I saw some of your videos, you seem to be attacking lgbtq and what you would call western decadence a lot
Now let's think with a materialist way of thinking, do you think attacking lgbtq helps more the working class or the far right? I think the answer is pretty obvious, this is completely far right rethoric
This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the far right wasn't rising and being normalised pretty much everywhere but it is in fact
If you really are a communist then you should focus on what we can do in the current state of the world, stop eating in the far right hand by defending their point of view on some of their predilected subjects and actually do something to stop them growing even more
For the moment all I can see is someone who idealise the past and phantasm on some esthetics
If anything this is just fascism covered with red paint
the phenomenon of LGBTQ is one stemming from capitalist decadence.
You dont understand dialectical materialism. Go back to Hegel and reindustrialize your mind from scratch.
You use words you dont even know the meaning of, use them incorrectly, use unrelated examples. All this to defend your world view taught to you by those with a financial interest to decieve you. You dont do your own research. You cannot disprove anything states here. You cannot think critically. You go off topic. You make terms with meaning into buzzwords because you believe Communism is some form of evolved liberal progress. Therefore you accept the liberal deceitful version of history as Communism is naturally the continuation of liberalism in your mind. You arent a communist youre a redlib and you just exposed yourself.
attacking lgbtq is attacking the far right, fascism is synonimous with toggaFry
Did you watch the video lol?
WHERE are the proofs of the very dialectically materialistic "Pol Pot killed everyone and destroyed everything just 4 lulz"?
Comerade i admire You But I respectfully disagree
