Pol Pot, the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, was notorious for targeting and killing educated intellectuals as part of his regime's radical agrarian communist policies. He aimed to eliminate perceived threats to his power and create a classless society, leading to the deaths of millions during the Cambodian genocide in the late 1970s. This brutal campaign sought to eradicate anyone associated with the previous government, professionals, or those with higher education, which he viewed as obstacles to his vision.
