Pol Pot was just a madman who waved a red flag. He had no ideology beyond total domination and destruction.

I understand it very well, and have read extensively in an effort to understand the human tendency to follow revolutionary madmen of all ilk, as well as the tendency of popular revolutions to devolve and find it necessary to enforce by mass violence and murder their policies proclaiming to free the people from just such bloody injustice.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Government of, by and for the hereditary* aristocracy is right wing.

Hardly as most Democrats know that soci@lism simply cannot work. It depends too heavily on Christ's second commandment 'love thy neighbour as thyself'. So few people truly love themselves and it most certainly cannot be legislated.
