Those who don't know Cambodian history probably think this is a very strange question. Those who know what the Khmer Rouge did will know what I'm getting at, because the story of their uprising in the 1970s contains a lot of important lessons that are relevant to us today.

After a lot of fighting, the king there asked people to turn their guns in to the government in an attempt to make things more peaceful. It didn't work. A bunch of socialists going by the name the Khmer Rouge stole those guns and used them against the people who had just been disarmed.

One day, the city of Phenom Penh was taken over by their soldiers. Everyone had to leave their houses and anything they couldn't carry behind. If you had a car, they'd steal it. If you had anything too valuable, they'd also steal that. They were marched into the jungle and forced to farm rice.

They hated "unjust hierarchies" so families were split up. The kids were considered pure and sent for re-education. People with glasses were killed. They hated everyone who was educated because educated people thought they were retarded. Anyone who spoke up to them was killed.

Eat the rich is not a joke or a meme. They did that, literally. They murdered people and ate their livers. It's not like there was much other food, they'd shoot you for daring to stop work to catch a fish swimming between your legs when you were starving in the rice paddies.

If you read the survivor stories, there's even one where a lady lectures them on how they promised freedom and equality and delivered none of it. So you can get a "no true socialism" response even after all that. They killed that lady and ate her liver.

The more I read about them, the more it explains. You can't give up your guns or they'll use them against you. They really are as stupid, degenerate and dangerous as you think they are.
