Ignatius, you are correct, however, there is actually a small minority in Cambodia who do actually worship Pol Pot as a god but not out of reverence. They worship him as a wrathful deity whose anger they appease with offerings. Part of the reason he stands out is the extent of the horror that transpired, also because his regime ultimately failed and because communist revolutionaries know his case is a lost cause and they don't really want to be associated with it. However, as I said, the principles behind his movement were the same as those with Lenin and Stalin and Mao, Pol Pot just did immediately what they hoped to do eventually. In a sense he was possibly the most "honest" communist dictator of them all.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-8464887453629182692010-11-30T23:28:08.900-06:002010-11-30T23:28:08.900-06:00at least pol pot is condemned by all the world unl...at least pol pot is condemned by all the world unlike mao and stalin and lenin who are still worshiped like gods by about a billion people for a foreseeable future.TANAKA8120https://www.blogger.com/profile/08169056478150976834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-4649604898646172032010-11-30T14:46:37.561-06:002010-11-30T14:46:37.561-06:00Pol Pot is the Typical ideologue. The biggest prob...Pol Pot is the Typical ideologue. The biggest problem with men like him, or even the whole of modern Revolutionary Culture, is that they put Ideal above Reality. Rather than looking at the world objectively, they instead see their vision of a perfect world, and try to force that vision into Reality. They refuse to accept the Vision, the Ideal, the Dream cannot be a Reality, for to them it’s the only explanation of Reality and only solution. It makes sense to them, it feels natural to them, and they think that the real world must work according to their Theories. Even when the world doesn’t, they blame some outside factor, not the dream itself, nor ever do they question its Tenets.<br /><br />This is what I mean by everyone having a Religion. Even Atheists. They have a set of beliefs that determine how they understand the world around them, and the question is, how accurate is that intellectual Model? A Mature mind can see when it fails and adjust it, but most minds never truly mature and the Minds of men like Pol Pot simply refuse to accept anything other than their dogmatism and their doctrines. While they hate Religion, they really haven’t gotten rid of it, merely replaced it with another, just as Modern Secularists aren’t really Irreligious, simply adherents of a different one.<br /><br /><br />Pol Pots ideals are however frightening because they are our own. Many in Western Culture today speak of the need to create Greater Equality. Equality is an unqualified good, and this goes without question. In fact, to Question Equality is to be seen as simply a Tyrant. Many of today’s Liberal Policies are designed to create Equality in the world around us.<br /><br />But the world doesn’t work in reality like the visions of Egalitarian Democrats, and Humanity is innately a Hierarchal Creature.<br /><br />Forcing us to give up our Hierarchies and our Relationships, to make us all “Brothers and Sisters”, even to remove Familial links, that is to remove, or more accurate to suppress, what it is to be Human. It is to ignore the Human condition, a condition that is innate and cannot be Changed. While Liberalism teaches such things are but a social Construct, this been proven time and again that its not. <br /><br />Family is an innate value, and we always have ties to our blood to who we are related. Work needs organisers and divisions of Labour, and all parts cannot be Equal. We all have different talents and abilities, and all have different interests.<br /><br />We simply are not all the Same.<br /><br />But, many refuse to accept this, notecases they have a Logical and Rational argument to support Egalitarianism, but because its part of heir core beliefs, their Religion.<br /><br />But by embracing those deals and trying to implement them, they create so many social problems and destroy the society they seek to improve and liberate. They remove from it its very essence in order to try to make it more of what it is, and force Humanity to give up what it means t be Human, to suppress all that is natural within and needful, in order to be what you Truly are.<br /><br />This of course never works and all you get is a lock step conformity that simply makes all the world a prisoner, assigned a Uniform and living in a Bland world, with no hope and no advancement.<br /><br />Its rather like the short story I read a long time ago called “Harrison Bergeron”, in which finally all were made Equal. The Beautiful worse masks to conceal their beauty, The strong were made to wear sand bags to suppress their strength, and the smart were forced to wear ear plugs that periodically sent some random nice into their ears to shatter their concentration, all to make sure everyone was exactly the same.<br /><br />That is what it would take, too, as Pol Pot horrifyingly demonstrated. In order to create Equality, you must remove that which makes us different from one another, and bring us all down to the lowest common denominator. you must force us all to suppress ourselves, and mould us into the same pattern society has dictated.<br /><br />You must destroy us.<br /><br />And so, Pol Pot did.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-8153711144452525222010-11-30T07:23:26.800-06:002010-11-30T07:23:26.800-06:00I've learned something today.
