“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
— Louis D. Brandeis

I always thought the Khmer Rouge and Vietcong killed government employees (cops, teachers, mayors) because they were symbols of a repressive regime; now I understand that they killed them because they WERE the repressive regime (from the Reds’ point of view).
