Khmer Rouge, Implications?

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Tue 23 May 2006, 18:55:26

Stalin cracked all the human eggs to make an industrial omelette. But Pol Pot made war against the modern world. Anyone infected with urban, international ideas or connections or any show of education at all was made to dig a hole and then be beaten or stabbed with bamboo sticks to lie down and be buried alive. Pol Pot was an engineer. What is it with these third world engineers? The whole urban parasitism concept is chilling and pertains to peak oil. So is the record of madness from the past.

"While the horrors of Nazism are well known, who knows that the Soviet Union murdered 20 million people? Who knows that China's dictators have slaughtered an estimated 60 million? Who knows that the Communist holocaust has exacted a death toll surpassing that of all of the wars of the 20th century combined?"

Pol Pot was another one of these radical charismatics. He had and maintained until his death a fanatical following that gave him shelter by fighting for him. One of his last acts was to have his number one man executed. He died while raising his fist. 8O
