There were certainly awful communists. Problem is we supported a lot of anti-communists who were no better.

Also I don’t think you can draw moral equivalence between Castro and Pol Pot. One of these was far far worse than the other.

Fierce anti-communism led to Franco, Pinochet, and Osama bin Laden. We can call it even.

Communists fought the Khmer Rouge, and these Khmers were backed by the US first.
