Savun, It's not communism or even socialism. It's social justice and equity. Of course in capitalism it's impossible that everyone, absolutely everyone, has a job. The poor, when completely desperate for food and/ or shelter, will rise up and kill the rich and loot them. Therefore all the capitalist countries in the West, including the US, Canada, France, the UK, Germany, have a program designed to try to prevent that from happening. The program is called income re-distribution. It's carried out by the tax system and the social programs, including welfare. I have a job. I have compassion for those who're less fortunate. Yeah Yeah I have a socialist tendency. It doesn't mean that I'm right and you're wrong, or that I'm wrong and you're right. It simply means that we have different opinions or ideologies.
The barbaric atrocious mass-murderous Khmer Rouge weren't communists or socialists. They were barbaric atrocious mass-murderers. They didn't take from the rich and give to the poor. They mass-murdered everyone over the age of 12 who hadn't lived in their territory during the un-civilized civil war, rich or poor, Khmer or mixed-raced or Chinese or Vietnamese or Cham or whatever. They won the war not because they promised to take from the rich and give to the poor, but because they claimed they fought for Sihanouk. As for the amount of government, ok too much of it isn't good, but too little of it isn't good either. There must be a right or balanced amount of it. If you don't believe that too little of it isn't good either, you may wonder if you want to live in a region where there's no government, municipal or provincial/state or national. My previous post was about Ronald Reagan and that quote of his, not about the current Cambodian government and the land grab issue.
