Now, Nathan, let's remember all the wonderful things the WWP has done for
the species . . . . oh, wait, make that the WWF.

The Maoists and PLAers who pop up here from time to time really have no
spine. They flee at the first shot fired, which is funny given the murderous
instincts possessed by those they (at a distance) revere. I always mean to
ask them about Pol Pot, who was fully supported and encouraged by their
upstanding Chinese state, from his anti-imperialist resistance (Year Zero
and other radical notions that would not be foreign to some of our Western
primitive rads) to his attempt to recapture lost Kampuchean territory
(occupied by the revisionist Vietnamese) to his flight to the Thai border
(where the US finally saw his value, which makes the whole thing rather
sticky for those who cannot ever, ever, be seen on the same side as The
Fascist Entity). But then, that would be rude. After all, not everybody died
under Pol Pot. Why stress the negative?
