This is a look at the Killing Fields in Cambodia, when the young in that country, led by communist pol pot, took their country to the mythical "Year Zero," where they wanted to start from scratch....by first destroying statues, culture, art, people...........to make new men and women in their own image......
And the killing fields were filled with the men, women and children that got in the way....
This is where the democrat party and their young, violent, hate filled antifa and black lives matter want to take the U.S.....
None of this is fiction. In fact, if you know any Cambodians born after about 1960 living abroad today, they are probably first-hand witnesses and most likely victims of what happened in those years.
What happened was this: The Khmer Rouge reset the clock from 1975 to “Year Zero,” erasing the past.
--They smashed the state and replaced it with their own interpretation of reality.
--They replaced Cambodia’s flag with their own.
--They destroyed the church and replaced God with their revolution.
--They smashed the family.
--They indoctrinated the children.
--They forced public confessions and denunciations.
--They destroyed the universities.
--They relocated and “reducated” millions.
--They turned ordinary people into spies and suspected anyone who did not demonstrate ultimate fealty to them, othered and shamed them, starved them, tortured them and shot them.
--Canceled them.
In modern times, revolutions tend to take one of two courses. On one hand, they result in liberal democracy such as the American Revolution. On the other hand, they devolve into madness and blood, as the French and later the Russian Revolution did. Cambodia’s took the latter path
Leftists sure have a thing for dictatorship. Socialism is just foreplay.
