Cambodia: THE FORCED LABOR OF ANGKAR LUE/CAP TREN 1975-1979 (4/11) [KH-EN]

[Cougman1978]

It is all about economic corruption. I heard the story about Julius Caesar who tore down economic and he was assassinated, because people lost their business.

[Cougman1978]

It is exact how nazi doctrins their ss and angkar doctrins their comrades. Hitler could afford his rent and pol pot couldn't get a job since he failed his radio school in paris, france.

were the Khmer rouge a bunch of peasants. how could they do this ti their own people ( or any people for that matter). are they like the Red Guard in the cultural revolution of China?

[AhmekKhmer]

waynealarsen, you can study about it or read description.

[waynealarsen]

@AhmekKhmer yes, I have read the Someth May book Cambodian witness. fantastic. terrible terrible suffering under the Khmer rouge

@waynealarsen ---------->KR's top brass esp those who formulated their policies were ultra liberals from Paris *sigh* Khmer Rouge leaders were from pretty - actually VERY wealthy backgrounds......actually I get more chills up my spine when I see an ultra liberal leftist who opposes all institutions, lyk those who go about saying "All institution is corrupted" etc. U find TONNES in Western world.

When one of them takes control of a country, u see Khmer Rouge.....

[waynealarsen]

@xxxdieselyyy----. sad, very sad. like the brown pellets they used as universal medicine and the top brass keep the real medicine.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@waynealarsen -------->U r right, Cambodia was a tragedy under KR. However, since I can relate myself....I wonder if most of the excess brutality was actually ordered by Nuon Chea and Pol Pot or whether they were simply excesses done by the new empowered agrarian class chiefs (like commune bosses) who were pissed off and wanted 2 go on V for Vandetta spree for the treatment they got under urbanites.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@waynealarsen -2------>I can't tell u exactly how Campuchean agrarians were treated by Urbanites, but then India was rated better in this regard in Pre-Khmer Cambodia- and our urbanites treat agrarians like FECES. When there is a national crisis declared, agrarians give their produce voluntarily 4 the city peepz. Yet when an agrarian just wants his land not 2 be untouched for "development" and want simple life only, urbanites think they should be forcefully converted "for their own benefit"

@xxxdieselyyy -------3----------->As a young laddy growin up in an Indian village scene, I had a LOT of rage against urbanites. It is only when I became older and travel more did i mellow out.

Most agrarians have this notion that urbanites are there only for taking and asking 4 more. And urbanites live up to that rep sadly. This would explain some of the treatment they got in commune farms.

If u r Dad was treated like crap., if u were treated like crap, u'll treat others the same way. ....

[xxxdieselyyy]

@xxxdieselyyy ---------4------------>.......­and if u were brutalized by me (for examples sake) for like 300 years , when u r given the upper hand and I am on the receiving end, unless you are a REAL admirable compassionate saint....if u r a normal homo-sapiens species like most of us, you'll go on a rampage too.

Urban-agrarian divide also churns out IMMENSE anger in agrarian ppls which sees leaders like Pol Pot take spotlight.
