Redpill me on Pol Pot
>>18399834He was true to his bullshit beliefs I guess? Can't say anything more positive than that.
>>18399834he was woke on the nerd question
god of safe edgy xitter shitskins
>>18399834He had political potential
>>18399834Just your regular third-world country person who studied Western Philosophy, literature and politics and used it to slaughter his fellow countrymen while saying WHITE BAD, like the guys of the Muslim Brotherhood, the clerics in Iran, the guerilla leaders in Africa, Ho Chi Minh, and, arguably, every Russian leader from Peter the Great to Stalin. He managed to get a better ratio, I guess, but nothing new here.
>>18399836He wasn't even that.On communism: "We are not communists ... we are revolutionaries" who do not 'belong to the commonly accepted grouping of communist Indochina." (Ieng Sary, 1977, quoted by Vickery, p. 288)"“When I die, my only wish is that Cambodia remain Cambodia and belong to the West. It is over for communism, and I want to stress that.” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1997/10/28/second-thoughts-for-pol-pot/8833f234-7687-400b-84d3-d8259f7afe69/)On the need for a revolutionary party: "The most striking feature of the idea of revolution entertained by the Khmer Communists... was that it was unexpressed. In the 1960s, opposition to government policies and calls for an anti-imperialist stand, made up the platform of the left wing ... In fact, revolution and the existence of a revolutionary party were not only played down in propaganda, they were completely hidden truths, revealed only to the enlightened few who could achieve senior positions in the apparatus [i.e. mainly the ex-student radicals]. (Thion, in Chandler ed., p. 16, emphasis added).“I did not really follow any model… I just picked up a little bit from here and a little bit from there.”
