Episode description
The man in our lesson today, Pol Pot, was a Cambodian dictator communist who orchestrated the Cambodian genocide of over two million humans. No one was safe under his leadership. It didn’t matter if you were Christian, non-religious, rich, or poor.
All to create a society based on agriculture that he was hopeful would turn into a fully communist one.
How did he do that? By enslaving as many people as he could and forcing them to work in the fields and farms after he took away all of their worldly possessions.
Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of all?
