Pol Pot, the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, implemented several radical policies aimed at transforming the country into a classless agrarian society. He abolished private property, closed schools, and dismantled urban centers, forcing millions into rural labor camps. The regime emphasized collective farming and sought to eliminate perceived bourgeois influences, resulting in widespread famine, forced labor, and mass executions. These policies contributed to the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people between 1975 and 1979.
