Several times, the Soviet Union was in the journals of the ACP (ml ) compared with the German Empire at the time of National Socialism. In the late 1970s, the AKP (ml ) actively supported Pol Pot, who on September 29, 1978 gave a banquet for the then party chairman Pål Steigan during his visit to Phnom Penh.
