    Funnily enough they were also the only communist party I can think of to directly receive US support

      I read that the early Communist Party of China received some CIA support (namely money and guns) to finish off Chiang-Kai Shek’s fascist/nationalist movement during the later periods of the armed struggle.

      I’m still not quite sure what to think of the Khmer Rouge, but I read that they did collectivize agriculture.
