Another good piece O'Brien. I hadn't thought of some of the parallels with today, but as is said .. if there's one thing we learn from history, it's that we struggle to learn from history.
An interesting symmetry between the Khmer Rouge Year Zero and the Current Year's Great Reset is that the former sought to empty the cities and starve urbanites to death working the rice fields, while the latter seeks to empty the countryside and herd the population into tenements where they can be slowly starved to death while being pacified in their VR pods.
Excellent piece...In Cambodia now, they say that Pol Pot killed more than half the population..Note that Pol Pot had the full support of American academics and the UN until the very end, and the UN let him off the hook for his crimes...
Daniel Ellsberg's 'Secrets' gave an insight into just how corrupt the USG was, and still is, in their propagation of the conflicts in old Indo-China after WWII.
As for that Perfidious Pol Pot, and his 'education in Paris, one can't but think that the French Revolution spawned untold damage on the world with all who came afterwards having acquired the same treacherous teachings from the maniacs of that time and that Paris Commune perpetuated the insanity that saw no wrong in doing evil things to their fellow man.

Thank you for illustrating the importance of history.
Will this generation's genocidal experimentation be known as the Oceania Rouge?

"rise of the Khmer Rouge is the illegal, and initially convert,"
