pol pot forced them home

>killing people is okay to preserve a dictatorship
>dictatorship
>defending angry lazy liberals
>not understanding those kinds of people currently have a dictatorship on you

It's not a dictatorship but we'll kill people who oppose us
>killing a quarter of your population
🤔
>One party system
Ok so you still dont get it
let me go more in depth
on how that got to be
so you understand
First off, 600k of the 2 million dead are by US bombings blamed on pol pot who came after
then
the farmers fled the bombs
And it was 3 million
and the US cut food aid
so basically
there was no food for anyone
eventually it got real bad
pol pot took back control of his government
pushed them back onto the farms
so he enslaved city people WHICH IS TOTALLY FAIR
they were fled farmers
if you don't have enough food, kill people so there is enough again
not city people
they came from the farms
they made all the food
they fled US bombs
they had to go back.
they had to go back folks, cant stay here and let all of everyone die, sad!
No one would volunteer to work on a farm?
