I blame the two party system in the US. It squishes all ideologies into a simple binary choice, and this bleeds into the political discourse even outside the US and especially online.
In my country we have a communist party which falls squarely in the conservative camp, wanting to return to the “good old days” before the revolution. It also has more support in the rural areas whereas cities trend more towards economic right.
Tuol Sleng was actually just a nice leftist resort.
Left or right doesn’t matter… Authoritarianism is the enemy.
