"The Khmer Rouge wasn't communist" is another good one.
I mean it wasn't, but tankies sure think it was
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.
