My grandparents survived the Khmer Rouge. They told me a lot about their lives under the regime. It was a terrible and horrific experience. My grandpa was a high school teacher, he forced himself to burn and buried all his achievements to avoid getting "educated". He told me "It's hard to get 1 handful of rice. You are lucky. So don't be picky." I never waste a single grain of rice.
Edit: I want to share my other grandparent's story (my mom's side). My grandpa was a District Governor. Lucky for him, he some how managed to survive and later become a Major General. My mom told me both of my grandparents survive the regime because they pretend to be normal farmers. Especially, my grandpa. He knew the intentions of the Khmer Rouge. He knew that only pretending to be "stupid" is the way to survive. And he did just that. Just before the day of liberation, he joined the other liberation force not the Vietnamese.
Due to his heroic actions and my grandma's help. My grandpa was promoted to Major General and his task is to eliminate the remaining Khmer Rouge guerilla forces along Khmer-Thai border. He didn't see them as enemies but victims instead. Instead of holding a gun he carries a bag full of medical supplies and help the wounded Khmer Rouge soldiers. (I met one of his comrades.) He wasn't lying. My grandpa and my grandma lived years after the war ended. And yeah this is it. They died in peace. They are very happy to see our country in peace. I still remember the words my mom told be "Don't look with your eyes. Look with your hands. War never forgive a lazy person."
I'm not very good at English. If there's a mistake, be sure to let me know. I'm happy to fix!
THANK YOU FOR READING! ❤️
Are u sure that u didnt miss a single grain of rice
Also i hope ur grandpa has a long and great life
@@chilli-boi Not really actually. My grandpa died almost a year now. But thank you for that.❤️

Back in the late 90's I worked with a man who lived through the Cambodian regime. He was a very reserved man and he very rarely talked about his time there but he did tell us once that when he was 18 his father was arrested on the suspicion of knowing how to read. Some soldiers came to the house and told the family that he had attempted to escape and was executed with a rifle. When the family went to collect the remains at the site of the execution, he quickly realized they hadn't used a rifle, they had used a grenade launcher.
He had to multitask between gathering the remains himself and keeping his mother back so she couldn't see. The guy lived on nicotine and only slept two hours per night.
Khmer Rouge was funded by the CIA, don’t try and blame it on communism.
Damn that’s horrible
Based US supported khamer Rouge
Just knowing how to fucking read omg, the absolute lengths people will go to to remain in power is terrifying.

Well most of the horrors were inflicted by the PAVN on others so it was them seeing the other side for once.
@@emberfist8347 bet
According to the textbook I studied, they wrote that Pol Pot had harassed the Vietnamese border first, so the Vietnamese side used this excuse to attack.
Pol Pot was a CIA operative not a communist
The fact that Cambodia, a communist country, was invaded by another communist country really shows how evil and insane the Khmer Rouge was.
Cambodia was bombed into the stone age by Nixon and Kissinger because they thought that the horror of Vietnam needed to be expanded into the surrounding countries, to “teach those savages what happens when they even consider having anything to do with Communism. They shouldn't be given a single moment of mercy.” No offence, but videos like this are borderline propaganda that skews the facts and constantly creates a pro-American narrative of history.
As much as I'm on the side of the ideals of America in terms of politics, it was absolutely stupid of them to support the Khmer Rouge just because they were salty at getting back at Vietnam.
Having the same socio-economic system doesn't make them allies though 😂

Oh communism did work it did exactly what it was designed to do disintegrate society there's actually a whole spiritual aspect behind it so for places like Cambodia it did exactly what it was designed to do if you want the short sum up of it and a lot of people who follow that stuff don't even know about this is they pretty much want society the revert back to what it was like in the garden of Eden which is to say non at all.

@@Ace_EconPeople are idiotic
it’s the other way around. Farmers own the land they work on instead of giant corporations or landlords, they can sell their produce at their own prices (which can’t happen at a meaningful scale in capitalist nations, FYI), and obviously can eat the food they make, (source: CIA study which found the USSR had more daily caloric intake and better quality nutrition).

@@tempejkl yeah. Tell that to the Ukrainians, Cambodians and Chinese.
And I'm pretty sure farmers in capitalist countries, especially in Western countries do own their own land and equipment. And the successful ones are business men as well. And I'm pretty sure they can stop farming without getting shot at the back of the head.

@@Jessie_Helms Socialists fighting other socialists isn't a new thing.
In Germany the National Socialists (Race/Ethno Socialists) fought both the german Communists (Class Socialists) and german Fascists (Syndicalist/Corporativist Socialism). Of course, many of the communists later joined the NatSocs (the militants and "officers" of Antifa in particular, many of the higher ups of the communist equivalent to the brownshirts became Gestapo officers). Ditto for the fascists.

It's rather ironic i've learned more history from channels like Simple History, Yarnhub and others than i did to school. Out of all Communist regimes the one of Khmer Rouge was the absolute worst of all and that says something that even the Vietnamese were understandably horrified.
Don't do that, actually read otherwise you'll be stuck on your own ignorance

Never met someone who came from a communist country and liked it. Germany, Poland, Russia, Venezuela, and China, all came to the US. Most being teachers or people i work with, each either told me they flat out didnt like it or had horror stories. I have several grievances against the current system, but Communism will make everyone miss the old regime as the good ole days. Never take your freedoms for granted.
Im not trying to defend the soviet union but "According to the New Russia Barometer (NRB) polls by the Centre for the Study of Public Policy, 50% of Russian respondents reported a positive impression of the Soviet Union in 1991. This increased to about 75% of NRB respondents in 2000, dropping slightly to 71% in 2009." There's a lot of people who actually preferred the soviet times over what they got now, I dont know if this is more about soviet greatness or the current Russian decadence but is something that most be considered.
@@KidMoe7735Russia also had a 99% vote in the captured areas in Ukraine that said they would be happy to be a part of Russia. Definitely not screwed or bias numbers
None of those were communist countries because there is no such thing as a communist country
And to deny your claim, I’ve only met one person from a Warsaw Pact nation and they’re a communist, so there you go
@@KidMoe7735 Yeah that poll is of RUSSIANs.
The only nation and people to largely benefit from the Soviet Union, was RUSSIA, it had a host of smaller nations (which it forcefully occupied) at its beck and call, of course Russians are going to think fondly of the USSR with this being the case... this was a time when their nation was at its strongest, when it was an undisputed world power, and had an economy to challenge its rivals.
If you ask any of the nations who were forced to become part of the Soviet Union, like Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, and Ukraine, most of the people there, especially old timers who actually lived under the USSR, will tell you it was terrible.
"But this wasn't REAL communism." "Real communism hasn't been tried yet."
I mean literally, yes that is true. But the people that use these arguments instead of understanding with nuance are not communists, they’re usually American liberals who have been told they’re communist because the USA’s Overton window is so far to the right that there is literally no left. Bernie Sanders who is the most left wing politician is still a right wing capitalist. The last communist politician in the US was either MLK jr or Malcolm X.
However in some cases it is literally true. The Khmer Rouge was a capitalist state funded by the CIA (this is public info btw, no conspiracy here), communist Vietnam even had to step in and liberate them.
China is VERY arguable. Under Mao? Socialist, yes, but under Deng and Xi Jinping? It’s debatable, some may call it state capitalist.
Communism is not achievable until the entire world becomes communist and after a few hundred years. What any ‘communist’ country of history is, is socialist. Most understand that socialism is a necessary transitionary period, but some (anarchists) believe that it all needs to happen instantly.
It would make the job of socialist leaders a lot easier if they weren’t invaded, killed, sabotaged, or embargoed every single time… the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, China, Burkina Faso, Libya, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Laos, and more.

Communism is an ideology, and on paper it is interesting. If we think long term, when machines will replace most of us, in a post scarcity world. It could make sense again.

In the middle of his unit engaging the enemy, one of the guys in his group pulled a pin on a grenade, and his idea of throwing was to let it roll back in his hand and past his fingers so it landed in the foxhole with the rest of the men. My uncle saw this and ordered everyone out of the foxhole, pushing the last guy out, meaning he was the one that took the brunt of the blast. Luckily he lived, although he had a back full of shrapnel, as well as missing most of his left foot. But, after that incident, he was discharged and got to recuperate stateside, so I guess that was something.
Putting evil in front of communism seems redundant.
It's a tautology.

Communism is the very definition of failure
Biggest problem with people who wants communism, is that they forget what communism does and gives; and this is what it will bring.
Communism has caused nothing but pain and suffering for the entire world. Everywhere communism is implanted; the citizens of that nation suffer. All for the power of one tyrant. Many praise communism, but that’s because they don’t truly understand the price it has. The price they will make their people pay.
- Communism is a form of religion as they communist parties practically makes the people worship them and the ideology (look at early Soviet Union with Stalin, and look at China with Mao and the current dictator of China).
Communism is the ideology of the envious
Communism is just a shortcut to absolute power like an Absolute Monarchy. Look at Pol Pot he behaved no differently than a king

Indeed. Communism, like all forms of Socialism, is a religion, a cult.

Why do you blame the system for an evil person doing evil things. Blame the person!!! Look at all of the evil capitalists; Pinochet, Batista, Somoza, henry Kissinger. You don’t blame the system for evil people. Capitalism has seen centuries for its genocides and “mistakes”, yet all of a sudden the ideology your government is against is immediately defunct for having evil people exploit it? (Not condemning genocide, but showing hypocrisy).

"2 million Cambodian soldiers in exchange for 50 million Vietnamese people" the head of the Pol Pot regime once said. Vietnamese soldiers sacrificed their lives to free the Cambodian people from Pol Pot's rule, but the Cambodian people later did not appreciate what we gave them. They went on social networks and cursed the Vietnamese people, the people who liberated them. I'm sorry that my uncle had to sacrifice himself for ungrateful Cambodians.

I was born under that wretched regime in Poland. When Jaruzelski introduced his martial law in winter '81-'82 I was barely seven, and the sight of paramilitary "police" squads on vodka and amphetamines, beating innocent people to death and CRUSHING HUNGRY PEOPLE WHO HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR LIES WITH ARMOURED TRUCKS - THAT I still do remember like it was yesterday.
3 kms from my old home in Katowice still stands a coalmine, named "Wujek". When you're there today you'll notice a monument - three tall crosses - erected in the memory of all the coal miners who went on strike there, because THEY HAD ENOUGH!...and were MOWED DOWN BY MACHINE GUNFIRE. The "almighty party" was shooting COALMINERS in the self-proclaimed "paradise of peasants and workers" - AIN'T THAT IRONIC??
PS. BTW! After half my family died under that regime I was lucky to escape for a while - I came to the "Democratic" and "sophisticated" West - where people who never spent one minute of their lives under communism would "SCHOOL" ME (ME out of all!) about how "MARX WAS GREAT" and "COMMUNISM was "GREAT" and even STALIN was "great"! NONE of them even knew the meaning of the word "HUNGER" ...and daddy would always bring them to shool in a nice, new Mercedes or even Porsche.

If communism is such a utopia. Then I would rather suffer in "exploitive" capitalism. Got my own house, never starved, never was harassed by the "State", and got to vote for the leaders in that government of America. I do feel very concerned about those statements made by Klaus Schwab of the WEF.
>Never harassed by the state.
That just happens under all governments. You're lucky, frankly.
Klaus Schwab is just another capitalist, we don’t have to worry really. The west is still a capitalist liberal powerhouse which it’s been for the last century.
Then I am fortunate to be born in America. From American parents and generations of Americans in my family tree. Sure there is not perfection in America, nor in American history. Even is America is only 90% perfect. It's 100% acceptable to me. Sure beats living in North Korea. You can forget about glorifying red China. Living in Afghanistan is completely unacceptable.
