Bracketing, for the moment, what general conclusions we should reach from
our study of the Cambodian/Kampuchean experience, what _specifically_
about the PCP's "conduct of the war and their ideology" suggests to you that
"they are Latin America's answer to the Khmer Rouge"?

Devoid of any explication, this is a statement w/out meaning.  Or rather, it
is a
statement the meaning of which is exhausted by its political function, which is
to join the bourgeoisie in its condemnation of revolutionary violence.

Presumably your goal is not to be a cheerleader of reaction, so please offer
some details that we can engage with here.
