The Berlin wall post does prove your point, fair enough, I’ll concede that.
Could not find the Pol Pot post but I’m not shocked bc generally the predominant view is that the Pol Pot movement was a CIA-backed cudgel against (socialist) Vietnam and Laos instead of its own organic movement (though I have not investigated modern Cambodian history enough to affirm or deny these claims). In this sense, Cambodia is viewed as exceptional and not socialist, compared to say, the USSR, Cuba, China, Yugoslavia, Poland, GDR, etc. and even places that are viewed as genuine socialist attempts but utter failures like Yemen and Afghanistan.
