His criticism of the Western political system was always way too simplicist and why it has immense appeal to college students.

Essentially it can be summed as any Western action must be rationalized as evil, and any anti-west action is therefore good. This is also in line with Christian dualism so the cultural building blocks are already in place.

Then you get Khmer Rouge, Putin, Hezbollah, Iran apologetism or downright support
