      LOL
      The horrible feodal system with serfs/slaves the Tibetans has was sooo much better.
      Some CIA poking didn’t work to bring that back.
      And there was a small minority radicalised terrorists by Turkey and OC again the CIA to cause trouble, which they did.
      blew up a plane with civilians, multiple other attacks on busses, trainstations, etc…
      The majority never liked them and are glad it’s over.
      But nice try.

      Not sure what you’re trying to say. Uyghurs are systematically eradicated and tibet is controlled by china since their invasion in the 1950s. Not exactly speaking in favor of communism.

      So, if you’d like to expand on your point, I might be able to discuss this further.

        eradicated LOL, their population is growing, despite the many some US backed terrorist killed.
        And Tibet doesn’t have slaves anymore who literally had chains around their necks suffering under the religious buddhist monks terror.
        Yawn, can you bring up Tiananmen square again to not be original? I’ll wait

          According to who? The chinese government? Lmao. Ye I would DEFINITELY trust the ones that are performing the killings on reporting accurate numbers.

          And Tibet doesn’t have slaves anymore who literally had chains around their necks suffering under the religious buddhist monks terror.

          Imperialism good when country does bad things?

          Yawn, can you bring up Tiananmen square again to not be original? I’ll wait

          I could, but if you want some originality, I can also bring up one of the other atrocities directly ordered by communist regimes, like the Prague Spring, Hungarian Revolution or the mass executions by the Khmer in Cambodia.

              I already answered that to someone else so I’ll just copy and paste it:

              The US never directly supported pol pot. Before 1975, they supported Lon Nol, who was fighting against the communist Khmer Rouge.

              The part that IS true is that the US did support China and Thailand at the time, which in turn used that aid to support resistance groups in cambodia because vietnam invaded cambodia in 1979 - something the US had no problem with since vietnam was backed by the soviets. Also, it is true that the US and other western countries supported keeping the Khmer Rouge as Cambodia’s official UN representative, however, that was mostly done to undermine Vietnam’s rule over cambodia.

              So, yes, by extension, the US supported pol pot, but it’s not the big “gotcha” you think it is - it was the cold war, an extremely complex geopolitical time.
