Pol Pot killed more people as a percentage of the total population than Mao or Stalin.A nightmare of sheer horror and depravity to create a utopia.There is a disagreement whether Mao or Stalin were the all time mass murderers.Most of my life I thought no one could be as bad as Hitler..alas I was wrong.

There is a disagreement whether Mao or Stalin were the all time mass murderers.It's generally agreed that Pol Pot was driven by the obsession to outdo Mao in terms of a Marxist agrarian "revolution." It was all outlined in the Sorbonne doctoral thesis of Khieu Samphan, "president" of Democratic Kampuchea under the murderous Khmer Rouge.
