Ah the endless debate on what Apocalypse Now means... I do think we're stuck with the fact that fascists love Apocalypse Now because they can read it how they want, and Kurtz is the hero for them. And it's a piece of pop media so there's no policing it's meaning. Just have to accept the ambiguity.

This is what the in whole or in part bit of the genocide convention is about.
