A tiny handful of leftists did criticize the Khmer Rouge before 1978 December, and got called fascists, nazis, and admirers of Adolf Hitler.
But not one academic in the entire western world, not a single one, risked his tenure by criticizing the Khmer Rouge until authorized to do so in December 1978.

LoL ! My mother was an academic in '78 and she criticised the Khmer Rouge all the time.
Liar If she criticized the Khmer Rouge before December 1978, give us a link, either to her criticisms, or to her receiving the shitstorm of venemous and vicious condemnation that invariably followed such premature criticism. The fact that she did not lose tenure on the grounds of fascism and nazism shows she did not criticize the Khmer Rouge in public before December 1978 To claim that an academic criticized the Khmer Rouge before December 1978 is like claiming that a Silicon Valley company in 2018 has a job notice saying "No n*****s need apply". If such a thing had happened there would be such drama as to create evidence that it happened.
