Are you tankies?
Why are you trying to make them defend Khrushchev? It's hard to find someone who agrees with anything else the guy did, but sending in the tanks to put down an uprising co-opted by nazis is pretty unambiguously good, though history tells us he didn't do enough to purge the Hungarian right.

OK, two things he did right.
The fallout from the sinosoviet split and destalinization can't be overstated though.

siding with the great Satan and fascists is bad
Claiming they sided with fascists is fucking absurd. Don't spread this revisionist shit all you're doing is reinforcing anticommunism.

I read your comment as referring to the soviets not china. I still don't understand why you even brought them into it though. It reads like trying to cause as much drama as possible.

God I hate this bug.
I think they're referring to Chinese support of the Khmer Rouge. Obviously they're not the ones who engineered the coup that put Pol Pot's faction in power (see America), but not siding with the USSR and Vietnam against them was a p big L.
I didn't read it as that because it's a really weird non sequitur. Like someone just dumping as many controversial things into the thread as possible.
Correct, this isn't a serious discussion, I don't genuinely disagree with everything Kruschev did other than sending the tanks into Hungary and supporting Cuba, nor attribute everything the USSR did during that time to Kruschev; I imagine H3doubehockeysticks has more nuanced takes on the USSR and China.

Wasn't the way he implemented centralized light industry pretty bad? Like didn't it destroy a lot of already existing organizations?
