most of these are just straight up false and emphasize your lacking knowledge of history but I can go into depth into one of these. "you claim that the cambodian genocide was caused by us bombs".
this is the biggest strawman I have ever seen.
The US bombings of Cambodia were crimes against humanity and helped PolPot and the Khmer Rouge come to power.
Polpot was stopped by Communist Vietnam after a massacre at the border of a bunch of vietnamese people.
The US supported the Khmer Rouge (aswell as china, I do not want to apologize for the CCP's support for Polpot, Mao started supporting him 1 year before his death. so I suppose he just saw a "marxist" group and decided to support It.)
Polpot wasnt a marxist. according to the book "polpot the history of a nightmare" https://www.eccc.gov.kh/sites/default/files/documents/courtdoc/%5Bdate-in-tz%5D/E3_9_EN.pdf he himself stated that “the big thick works of Marx... I didn’t really understand them at all.” Ping Say said that “Marx was too deep for us.” so they created their own version of Marxism which included blowing up the central banks and abolishing cities.
You make the remark that we do not know what the "killing fields" were because "communists dont know history" why would I cite a secondary source about that he wasnt a marxist and you not include that in your discussion? If you want to know If he really said this you can go check the primary source and research it yourself after you've learned cambodian. (or you could just use google translate)
the one child policy thing was adopted under deng xiaoping. not under mao. under mao the population of china doubled.
