}}
'''Trotskyism''' or '''Bolshevik-Leninism''' is a [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] and [[File:Internation.png]] [[Internationalism|Internationalist]] ideology focusing on the political ideals of the Soviet revolutionary [[File:Lev Davidovich Bronstein.png]] Leon Trotsky. It is distinguished in the belief of "permanent revolution".

== History==
Trotskyism originated during the life of [[File:Lev Davidovich Bronstein.png]] Leon Trotsky, who was influenced by the ideas of [[File:Karl Marx.png]] [[Marxism|Karl Marx]] and [[File:Lenin.png]] [[Leninism|Vladimir Lenin]]. When the October Revolution occured, Trotsky was a major leader of the revolution and contributed greatly to leading the Petrograd Soviet. During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky was a major leader of the Red Army. When [[File:JosephStalin.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|Joseph Stalin]] came to power in 1924, Trotsky was exiled from the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] USSR and formed the Fourth International with other Trotskyists. Trotskyism and the Fourth International continued to exist after Trotsky's assassination. After the death of the unified Fourth International, the League for the Fifth International (L5I) was eventually formed in hopes of creating a new Trotskyist 'Fifth International'. The L5I still exists to this day and has affiliated parties in multiple countries.

== Beliefs==
Trotskyism's main belief is the "Permanent Revolution", which is the belief that the complete victory of the [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|bourgeois-democratic revolution]] in Russia is conceivable only in the form of [[File:Erga.png]] [[Ergatocracy|the dictatorship of the proletariat]], leaning on the peasantry, due to the international nature of capitalism allowing for "backwards" nations such as Russia to skip stages through '''combined development'''.
The [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|democratic revolution]] grows over directly into the [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist revolution]] and thereby becomes a permanent revolution.
===Degenerated Workers State===
Another important Trotskyist belief is the theory of the "Degenerated Workers' State". According to it, a [[File:Erga.png]] [[Ergatocracy|Dictatorship of the Proletariat]] may develop a powerful caste of state bureaucrats, which will seize the power from the workers. [[File:Stalin.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Such a state]] will be unable to progress further towards [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|higher-stage Communism]], and without any political revolution to overthrow the bureaucracy, it will eventually slide back to [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]]. As such, Trotsky believed that a socialist state would need to be run [[File:DemCentral.png]] democratically.

===The incapability of the peasantry===
The theory of permanent revolution further considers that the peasantry as a whole cannot take on the task of carrying through the revolution because it is dispersed in small holdings throughout the country and forms a heterogeneous grouping, including the rich peasants who employ rural workers and aspire to landlordism and the poor peasants who aspire to own more land. Trotsky argues: "All historical experience [...] shows that the peasantry is incapable of taking up an independent political role".

==Variants==
===[[File:ChenDuxiu.png]] '''Chen Duxiu Thought/Original CPCism===
Chen Duxiu (9 October 1879 – 27 May 1942) was a Chinese revolutionary, writer, educator, and political philosopher who co-founded the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921, serving as its first General Secretary from 1921 to 1927. Chen was a leading figure in the New Culture Movement and May Fourth Movement of 1919, which significantly influenced China's intellectual and political landscape in the early 20th century.

Born in Anhui, Chen was raised in a traditional gentry family but became involved in revolutionary activities from a young age. He studied in Japan, where he was exposed to Western ideas and became involved with Chinese student activist groups. Returning to China, he played a key role in local revolutionary movements in Anhui, notably through journalism and education, advocating for a vernacular literary revolution and the preservation of China's "national essence". During the New Culture Movement (c. 1915–1922), Chen rose to national prominence as the editor of the influential magazine New Youth (Xin Qingnian) and as Dean of Arts and Letters at Peking University. He championed science, democracy, and vernacular literature while launching trenchant critiques of traditional Confucianism and Chinese society. His writings and leadership were instrumental in shaping the May Fourth generation of intellectuals and activists.

Following the May Fourth Movement and influenced by the Russian Revolution, Chen embraced Marxism and, with the assistance of Comintern agents, co-founded the CCP. As its first leader, he navigated the complex early years of the party, including the formation of the First United Front with the Kuomintang (KMT). However, he was removed from leadership in 1927, becoming a scapegoat for the failures of the United Front. Subsequently, Chen became associated with the Trotskyist Left Opposition and was expelled from the CCP in 1929. He spent his later years in relative political isolation, continuing his philological research until he died in Sichuan in 1942.

===[[File:Clif.png]] Cliffism===
'''Cliffism'''' is an Ideology that is in its core Trotskyist but has broken with key components of [[File:Classicaltrotskyism-icon.png]] Orthodox Trotskyism, such as the theory of Deformed Worker's States. It is more ideologically Versatile and puts more emphasis on identity Politics than normal Trotskyism, attempting to "Unite the Struggles". Cliffism is, similar to Trotskyism, on the far Left politically and culturally and slightly above the Authority Axis. It wants to achieve a Leninist Multi-Party Council Communist Democracy.

'''History'''

Cliffism was founded in 1948 by Israeli-British Socialist [[File:Clif.png]] Tony Cliff (real name Yigael Gluckstein). Initially a member of the british wing of the Fourth International, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Cliff was expelled in the 50s for refusing to take a stance for or against North Korea in the Korean War, seeing it as a War between two capitalist Nations and founded the "International Socialists" who would later become the "Socialist Workers Party" of the [[File:Cball-UK.png]] UK. From there on the SWP was a constant, if minor, power within British Politics, organising during the Vietnam War, being an important part of the [[File:AntiNazism.png]] Anti-Nazi-League. Due to its ability to change Tactics rapidly it was able to survive [[File:Thatcher.png]] [[Conservative_Liberalism#Thatcherism|Thatcherism]] and later showed itself again in Anti-War movements. It continues to be a force in British Politics to this day. Outside of [[File:Cball-UK.png]] Britain its Tendency is very strong in [[File:Cball-Ireland.png]] Ireland and [[File:Cball-Germany.png]] Germany, where it has members in Parliament.

[[File:Polpot.png]] '''Pol Potism''' is a [[File:Totalitarian.png]] [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]], [[File:RevProg.png]] [[Revolutionary Progressivism|ultraprogressive]], [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnonationalism|ethnonationalist]], and [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] ideology formulated by [[File:SalothSar.png]] [[Agrarian Socialism|Saloth “Pol Pot” Sar]]. It was the ruling ideology of Democratic Kampuchea. Pol Pot's regime carried out the Cambodian genocide against ethnic and religious minorities such as Vietnamese people, political opponents, and intellectuals.

== Beliefs ==
=== "Year Zero" ===
On April 17, 1975, Pol Pot official declared "Year Zero" and ordered that Cambodian history and culture should start over completely. All previous traditions, religions, and societal structures were deemed irrelevant and were thus destroyed, paving a path for a new Cambodia to rise and eliminating all relics of Cambodia's [[File:Imp.png]] "imperialist" past.

Pol Pot viewed technology and education as tools of capitalist and colonial oppression. Modern medicine, schools, and infrastructure were dismantled or abandoned. It isolated itself from the outside world forbidding foreign products as well as completely cutting itself off from any form of trade.

===[[File:Farm.png]] Agrarianism===
Pol Pot heavily idealized Cambodia being a pure agarian society, and heavily believed in rural life and peasentry as a step to an agrarian utopia. People were forced into agricultural collectives to live and work as a community under strict control.

[[File:Urbanism.png]] Cities were emptied, and their populations were forced into rural areas to work as farmers, with many dying on the way to these collectives. Anyone deemed as urban people who could not operate the agriculture were classified as 'economic saboteurs' and killed.

===[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Economics===
Pol Potism aimed to create an entirely classless, agrarian, eglitarian society. This involved eliminating not just the upper classes but anyone perceived as educated or elite, such as intellectuals, teachers, and professionals. Pol Potism viewed technology and education as tools of capitalist and colonial oppression. Modern medicine, schools, and infrastructure were dismantled or abandoned, as everyone was forced into collectives.

Bartering was allowed officially between and within communes, which was one of the only forms of legal trading. Commerical fishing was also banned in 1976.

They also destroyed all [[File:Bankocracy.png]] [[Financialism|banks]] and currency, as they deemed it corruptful of Cambodian society. The central bank, currency, and records were all raided and burned/destroyed, so that Cambodia would allegedly have no more claim to funds.

=== Racism ===
Pol Potism espoused a vision of Cambodia as a pure Khmer state. Ethnic minorities, such as Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cham Muslims, and foreigners were persecuted or exterminated.

=== Religion ===
Democratic Kampuchea was a [[File:StateathFedora.png]] [[State Atheism|state atheist]] country. It killed Christians, Buddhists, and Cham Muslims, the latter of whom they forced to eat pork beforehand<ref>https://d.dccam.org/Survivors/2.htm</ref>, even though its constitution stated that everyone had freedom of religion, or not to hold a religion.

The [[File:Catholic.png]] Roman Catholic cathedral of Phnom Penh was razed. Christian clergy and Muslim imams were executed. Buddhist monks were also targeted, albeit less, with only 25,000 being killed in total.

=== [[File:Glasses2-template.png]] Glasses [[File:Glasses-template.png]] and [[File:Anti-Intellectualism.png]] {{PHB|Anti-Intellectualism}} ===
The Khmer Rouge was also concluded to have promoted functional literacy, with students learning nothing worthwhile, although this is heavily debated. Education came to a "virtual standstill" in Democratic Kampuchea. Irrespective of central policies, most local cadres considered higher education useless and as a result, they were suspicious of those who had received it. The regime abolished all literary schooling above primary grades, ostensibly focusing on basic literacy instead.

Beyond primary education, technical courses were taught in factories to students who were drawn from the favoured "base people".[48]: 184 There was a general reluctance to increase people's education in Democratic Kampuchea, and in some districts, cadres were known to kill people who boasted about their educational accomplishments, and it was considered bad form for people to allude to any special technical training.

People with glasses, and anyone considered intellectuals, particullarly "new people", were often higtly targeted and killed by the Khmer Rouge.

=== [[File:EvilPolPot.png]] Neo-Pol Potism ===
Neo-Pol Potism is an ideology following the collapse of Democratic Kampuchea that seeks to re-implement Pol Pot's ideology back into Cambodia

Despite the fall of Democratic Kampuchea in 1979, it wasn't until 1999 when The Khmer Rouge officially dissolved. Many opposition parties throughout the 80s like FUNCINPEC and CGDK allied themselves with The Khmer Rourge.

==History==
===[[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Pot's Early Life and Origins ===
[[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Pot was born as Saloth Sâr in Prek Sbauv, French Protectorate of [[File:Cball-Cambodia.png]] Cambodia in the 1920s to a rich and prosperous family that had connections to the Cambodian [[File:Moncap.png]] monarchy. Saloth Sar was educated at some of Cambodia's most elite schools and gained access to further education and went to study in Paris, [[File:Cball-France.png]] France from 1949-1953. While in Paris, Saloth Sar became interested in [[File:Soc-h.png]] socialism and joined the Marxist-Leninist organization, Cercle Marxiste where he would become influenced by the works of both [[File:JosephStalin.png]] Joseph Stalin and [[File:Kropotkin.png]] Peter Kropotkin.
Saloth Sar returned to Cambodia in 1953 at the height of the First Indochina War and Khmer Việt Minh a mixed Vietnamese and Cambodian guerrilla subgroup of the [[File:Hochi.png]] North Vietnam-based Việt Minh to free Indochina from the French colonizers. In November 1953, King [[File:Norodom.png]] Norodom Sihanouk declared Cambodia's independence from [[File:Cball-France.png]] France and roughly almost all Khmer Việt Minh left the country for North Vietnam. However, Saloth Sar remained in Cambodia and together with his fellow comrades decided to bring about communism through electoral means and founded the socialist party, Pracheachon. However, in 1955 Norodom Sihanouk abdicated the throne and through voter fraud became the country's Chief of State and turned Cambodia into a de-facto one-party state and began to crack down on Pracheachon’s members.

In 1962, in the midst of the Vietnam War, [[File:Samouth.png]] Tou Samouth began to form his revolutionary movement with the purpose of overthrowing Norodom Sihanouk’s regime and establishing contact with the [[File:VietCong.png]] Viet Cong, with Sar becoming Samouth's apprentice. Saloth Sâr and his comrades sought to develop their own, explicitly Cambodian variant of the ideology which moved away from the orthodox Marxist focus on the urban proletariat as the forces of a revolution to build socialism, giving that role instead to the rural peasantry, the far larger class in Cambodian society. In 1962, [[File:Samouth.png]] Tou Samouth disappeared, assumed to had been captured by [[File:Norodom.png]] [[Social Authoritarianism|Sihanouk]]‘s administration, although some believe Sar had killed his mentor to gain power.

In April 1965 Saloth Sar traveled to Vietnam and met [[File:HoChiMinh.png]] Ho Chi Minh and [[File:LêDuẩn.png]] Lê Duẩn who refused him support for his cause as they didn’t consider Norodom Sihanouk to be an enemy. In Hanoi, Saloth Sâr read through the archives of the Communist Party of Vietnam, concluding that his Vietnamese counterparts were committed to pursuing an Indochinese Federation led by Vietnam and that their interests were therefore incompatible with Cambodia's. In November of the same year, Saloth Sar flew from Hanoi to Beijing, China, and met with [[File:MaoHair.png]] Mao Zedong, [[File:ZhouEnlai.png]] Zhou Enlai, [[File:DengXiaoping.png]] Deng Xiaoping among other prominent Chinese communists. Saloth Sar would gain much sympathy from [[File:ChinaCP.png]] the Communist Party of China as they shared his negative view of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s revisionism amid the Sino-Soviet split. CCP officials also trained him on topics like the dictatorship of the proletariat, class struggles, and political purges.

Saloth Sar returned to Cambodia the next year and together with his comrades renamed their organization the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK). Norodom Sihanouk began referring to its members as the "Khmer Rouge" ('Red Cambodians'), but they did not adopt this term themselves.

===Cambodian Civil War===

In 1968 the Cambodian Civil War escalated as the government responded to attacks committed by the Khmer Rouge with scorched-earth policies, aerially bombarding areas where rebels were active. The army's brutality indirectly aided the insurgents' cause as the uprising spread, over 100,000 villagers joined them. In March 1970, while Sâr was in Beijing, Cambodian parliamentarians led by [[File:KPNLF.png]] Lon Nol deposed Norodom Sihanouk in a US-backed coup when he was out of the country. Sihanouk also flew to Beijing, where the Chinese and North Vietnamese Communist Parties urged him to form an alliance with the Khmer Rouge to overthrow Lon Nol's right-wing government. Sihanouk then formed his own government-in-exile in Beijing and launched the National United Front of Kampuchea to rally Lon Nol's opponents which helped massively increase the Khmer Rouge in numbers. In April 1970, North Vietnamese armies, in collaboration with the Viet Cong, nevertheless invaded Cambodia to attack Lon Nol's forces which dragged Cambodia into the Vietnam War. US on the orders of President [[File:Nixon.png]] Richard Nixon and National Security Advisor [[File:HenryKissinger.png]] Henry Kissinger initiated Operation Freedom Deal a massive aerial bombing campaign targeted at Vietnamese forces alongside the South Vietnamese border in Cambodia. The US bombing campaign accelerated the collapse of rural Cambodian society, caused between 50 000 and 200 000 civilian casualties, and only made it easier for Khmer Rouge to gain support through anti-American sentiment. The same year Saloth Sar began to refer to himself as “Pol Pot.”
The Khmer Rouge established vast control of the rural areas of Cambodia, which they called the “liberated zones”, where they sought to establish good relations with the peasants whose livelihood had been destroyed by the war.

In 1972, the Khmer Rouge began trying to refashion all of Cambodia in the image of the poor peasantry and forced all of those living under its control to dress like poor peasants, with black clothes, and red-and-white krama scarves, and sandals made from car tires. CPK members were expected to attend "lifestyle meetings" in which they engaged in criticism and self-criticism which cultivated an atmosphere of perpetual vigilance and suspicion within the movement. In May 1973, Pol Pot ordered the collectivization of villages in the territory it controlled and over the following 6 months, 60,000 Cambodians fled from areas under Khmer Rouge control. Relations between the Khmer Rouge and the North Vietnamese continued as Pol Pot ordered the internment of many of the Khmer Rouge who had spent time in North Vietnam and were considered too sympathetic to them. However, Vietnamese support for the Khmer Rouge mostly dried up during the later parts of 1973.

In 1975, Lon Nol’s government collapsed and Lon Nol himself fled to the US, allowing the Khmer Rouge to seize Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh on April 17, 1975, which ended the civil war and brought them in control of the entire country.

=== Aftermath ===

Shortly after taking the city, the Khmer Rouge announced that its inhabitants had to evacuate to escape a forthcoming US bombing raid with the false promise of that they would eventually be allowed to return to the city. The evacuation of Phnom Penh had over 2.5 million people out of the city with very little preparation; between 15,000 and 20,000 of these were removed from the city's hospitals and forced to march and 20,000 people died along the route.

After the capture of the city, Pol Pot declared "Year Zero" on April 17, 1975. He declared that the nation would start again at "Year Zero", and everything that existed before Year Zero was to be eradicated. It destroyed [[File:Bankocracy.png]] all banks and forms of currency, religion, previous Cambodian culture, hospitals, and foreign influence and capitalist ideas. People were forced into agrarian communes where they were forced to work for 18 hours a day and expected to produce 3 tons of rice per hectacre, whereas the previous was 1 ton per hectacre, causing many to die of famine and exhaustion. This was mostly the result of limited knowlegde of former city folk, with the farmers often times unwilling to help them out of fear.

In June 1975, Pol Pot and other Khmer Rouge officials met with Mao Zedong in Beijing, where [[File:MaoHair.png]] Mao lectured Pol Pot on his "Theory of Continuing Revolution under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat (无产阶级专政下继续革命理论)",

===[[File:KhmerRogue.png]] Democratic Kampuchea and Cambodian Genocide===

On the 5th of January 1976, Democratic Kampuchea was proclaimed, a [[File:Totalitarian.png]] totalitarian one-party state led by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The Cambodian population was officially known as "Kampuchean" rather than "Khmer" to avoid the ethnic specificity associated with the latter term and the Khmer language, now labeled "Kampuchean" by the government, was the only legally recognized language. The Standing Committee agreed to link several villages in a single co-operative of 500 to 1000 families, with the goal of later forming commune-sized units twice that size. Communal kitchens were also introduced so that all members of a commune ate together rather than in their individual homes. From the summer of 1976, the government ordered that children over the age of seven would live not with their parents but communally with Khmer Rouge instructors. There were no wages in Pol Pot’s Cambodia and as such has been classified as a “Slave State” by scholars and historians. People were also not allowed to leave the commune, pick their own food outside of the commune such as wild berries, or hoard private items.

The Khmer Rouge also classified people based on their religious, ethnic and settlement backgrounds. Cambodian civilians were divided into two types of people, which are anyone from rural areas, known as "Old People" (អ្នកចាស់ neak chas or អ្នកមូលដ្ឋាន neak moultanh) and anyone from urban areas, known as "New People" (Khmer: អ្នកផ្ញើ neak phnoe or អ្នកថ្មី neak thmei or អ្នក១៧មេសា, neak dap pram pii mesa, lit. 'April 17th people'), which the latter were not allowed any property and they were forced to work at least 10 hours a day, and often more, apart from restricted food ration that lead to starvation. [[File:Bud.png]] Buddhist monks were viewed as social parasites and designated a "special class" and were set to manual labor in the rural co-operatives and irrigation projects. Crackdowns on dissidents and party purges were justified on the grounds to prevent foreign infiltration from the KGB or the Vietnamese. Enemies of the state were encouraged to confess to the accusations, often after torture or the threat of torture, with these confessions then being read out at party meetings. The Khmer Rouge converted a disused secondary school in Phnom Penh's Tuol Sleng region into a security prison, S-21 in which between 15,000 and 20,000 people would be killed including a dozen Westerners, and only seven people survived.

From late 1976 onward, and especially in the middle of 1977, the levels of violence increased across Democratic Kampuchea, particularly at the village level. Across the country, peasant cadres tortured and killed members of their communities whom they disliked, and some even engaged in cannibalism. Growing numbers of Cambodians attempted to flee to Thailand and Vietnam. According to the CPK's own figures, by August 1977 between 4000 and 5000 party members had been liquidated as "enemy agents" or "bad elements". During the Cambodian Genocide, they also primarily targest religious people, ethnic Chinese, Cham Muslims, and especially Vietnamese people. It is generally estimated that 1.5 and 2 million people, approximately a quarter of Cambodia's population were killed because of the Khmer Rouge regime’s policies.

Most of the aid for the Khmer Rouge regime came from China as the Chinese leadership saw Pol Pot’s government as a bulwark against Vietnamese influence in Indochina. Mao pledged $1 billion in military and economic aid to Cambodia, including an immediate $20 million grant. Many thousands of Chinese military advisors and technicians were also sent to the country to assist in projects like the construction of the Kampong Chhnang military airport. Allegedly, the US supported the Khmer Rouge to counterbalance Vietnamese influence and thereby Soviet influence in the region. Thailand also allowed the Khmer Rouge fighters to flee to Thailand and establish Guerrila Warfare alongside it's borders.

===Cambodian-Vietnamese War and Fall of the Khmer Rouge===

Out of fear of Vietnamese expansionism, there were continuous border clashes between Cambodia and Vietnam. In January 1978, the Cambodian Army launched raids on various Vietnamese villages. Fearing that Vietnam would attack Cambodia, Pol Pot ordered a pre-emptive invasion of Vietnam on 18 April 1978. His Khmer Rouge forces crossed the border and looted nearby villages, mostly in the border town of Ba Chúc. Of the 3,157 civilians who had lived in Ba Chúc, only two survived the massacre. These Khmer Rouge forces were repelled by the Vietnamese. After this, the Vietnamese Politburo then concluded that it must not leave Pol Pot in power and began to train Cambodian refugees to overthrow Pol Pot’s government.

On 25 December 1978, the Vietnamese Army launched its full-scale invasion of Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge evacuated Phnom Penh once again and in January 1979, Vietnam installed a new government led by former dissidents of Pol Pot’s regime, which renamed Cambodia the "People's Republic of Kampuchea." Although many Cambodians had initially hailed the Vietnamese as saviors, over time resentment against the occupying force grew.

The Khmer Rouge turned to China for support against the invasion and in China they set up their "Voice of Democratic Kampuchea" radio station, which remained their main outlet for communicating with the world. In February, the Chinese attacked northern Vietnam, hoping to draw Vietnamese troops away from the invasion of Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge also received the support financial and logistical support from [[File:Cball-US.png]] the US, [[File:Cball-UK.png]] UK, [[File:Thailand.png]] Thailand, [[File:Cball-Singapore.png]] Singapore, [[File:Cball-Malaysia.png]] Malaysia, [[File:Cball-North Korea.png]] North Korea, and [[File:Cball-Romania.png]] Romania, who wanted to curtail Vietnamese and Soviet influence in the region. In November 1979, [[File:Cball-UN.png]] the United Nations General Assembly voted to recognize the Khmer Rouge delegation, rather than that of the Vietnamese-backed government, as the legitimate government of Cambodia.

In December 1981, Pol Pot and his comrades decided to dissolve the Communist Party of Kampuchea, possibly to appease his foreign backers. Reflecting the ideological shift in the Khmer Rouge, collective eating was ended, the ban on individual possessions was lifted, and children were again allowed to live with their parents.
In 1983, Pol Pot traveled to Bangkok, Thailand for a medical check-up where he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. Two years later Pol Pot traveled to Beijing, China to undergo cancer treatment at a military hospital.

=== Aftermath ===

Tend of the Cold War had repercussions for Cambodia as the fall of the Soviet Union meant that the US stopped Vietnamese domination of Cambodia as an issue and stopped recognizing the Khmer Rouge delegation at the UN until 1993. The Khmer Rouge continued to carry out massacres against Vietnamese settlers in Cambodia. This was met with resistance by [[File:Cball-UNTAC.png]] UN Peacekeepers and military forces led by Vietnamese-backed Prime Minister [[File:Hun Sen.png]] Hun Sen. By 1996, the Khmer Rouge had lost almost all the territory they held in the interior of Cambodia, being restricted to a few hundred miles along the northern border.

Pol Pot's health was rapidly declining and in 1997 ordered the killing of his former comrade [[File:Son Sen.png]] Son Sen. This led to the military leader of former Democratic Kampuchea Ta Mok turning on Pol Pot and letting military forces loyal to him apprehend him, putting Saloth Sar under house arrest.

American [[File:Mediastocracy flair.png]] journalist Nate Thayer conducted Pol Pot's last interview while Pol Pot was under house arrest. Pol Pot stated that his "conscience is clear" but acknowledged that mistakes were made and told Thayer that "I want you to know that everything I did, I did for my country". On 15 April 1998, Pol Pot died in his sleep of heart failure. However, Tayer, claimed that Pol Pot committed suicide when he became aware of Ta Mok's plan to hand him over to the US. Three days later, Pol Pot’s body was cremated on a pyre of tires and rubbish, utilizing traditional Buddhist funerary rites.

While there was still low level resistance even after Pol Pot's death, the last Khmer Rouge fighters and leaders finally laid down their arms on Dec 1999.

== People ==
===[[File:KhieuPonnary.png]] Khieu Ponnary===
Khieu Ponnary was the first wife of Pol Pot and an influential figure in the early Cambodian communist movement. She was Cambodia’s first female graduate from the prestigious Lycée Sisowath and later studied in France, where she and her sister, Khieu Thirith, became involved in Marxist politics. Upon returning to Cambodia, she played a crucial role in supporting the Khmer Rouge, providing ideological guidance and helping to shape its revolutionary vision.

However, by the 1970s, Ponnary’s mental health deteriorated, and she withdrew from political life. She suffered from schizophrenia, which worsened during the Khmer Rouge's rule (1975–1979), leading to her being sidelined from active participation. After the regime’s collapse, she lived under the protection of Pol Pot and later with her family until her death in 2003. While not directly involved in Khmer Rouge atrocities, she was an important intellectual figure in the movement's early years.

===Ieng Sary===
Ieng Sary (1925-2013) was a key figure in the Khmer Rouge regime and served as its Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1975 to 1979. he was a close associate of Pol Pot and played a crucial role in the rise of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Educated in France, where he was exposed to Marxist ideology, he later became instrumental in shaping the Khmer Rouge's foreign policy. During the regime's rule, he was responsible for diplomatic relations, attempting to secure international recognition and support for Democratic Kampuchea. However, he was also linked to purges and atrocities, as he oversaw the forced repatriation and execution of Cambodian diplomats and students suspected of disloyalty.

After the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979, Ieng Sary was sentenced to death in absentia but received a royal pardon in 1996 when he defected to the Cambodian government. Despite this, he was later arrested in 2007 and charged with crimes against humanity and genocide by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). His trial was ongoing when he died in 2013 at the age of 87, avoiding a final verdict for his role in one of the 20th century’s most brutal genocides.

===[[File:NuonChea.png]] Nuon Chea===
Nuon Chea (1926-2019) was often regarded as the chief ideologue of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot, serving as his deputy and the second most powerful man in Democratic Kampuchea. He played a central role in the regime's radical policies, which led to the deaths of approximately 1.7 million people through forced labor, starvation, and executions, and was thought to be the chief architect of it. As a result of his powerful position, he was known as "Brother Number Two."

Nuon Chea also played a major role in negotiating the North Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1970, with the intent of forcing the collapse of [[File:KPNLF.png]] Lon Nol's government. He also demanded the expulsion of the Vietnemase minority later, however, and Pol Pot was even considered "a parigon of kindness" compared to him.

In December 1998, Chea surrendered as part of the last remnants of Khmer Rouge resistance which was based in Pailin near the Thailand border, and on 19 September 2007, 81 year old Chea was arrested at his home in Pailin and flown to the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Phnom Penh, which charged him with war crimes and crimes against humanity, where he died serving his sentence on the 4th of August, 2019.

===[[File:Son_Sen.png]] Son Sen===
Son Sen (1930-1997), also known as the "Brother 89", was the Cambodian Minister of National Defense and head of it's security apparatus, including S-21 prison, where hundreds of thousands were killed and tortured. After the Khmer Rouge captured Phnom Penh in April 1975, Son Sen was also appointed Deputy Prime Minister with responsibility for Defense. Son Sen was responsible for ordering the massacre of more than 100,000 people in the Eastern Zone of Cambodia during the last six months of 1978.

After the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979, he remained with the movement as it waged an insurgency against the Vietnamese-backed Cambodian government. In 1997, amid internal purges and power struggles within the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot ordered Son Sen and his family executed, marking the violent end of a man deeply tied to one of the 20th century's most oppressive regimes.

===[[File:TaMok.png]] Ta Mok===
Ta Mok (1924–2006), was a senior military commander and key figure in the Khmer Rouge, notorious for his brutality and earning the nickname "The Butcher." He joined the communist movement in the 1940s and rose to prominence as a trusted lieutenant of Pol Pot, playing a critical role in the Khmer Rouge's rise to power. As the regime's military chief, he oversaw purges, mass killings, and forced relocations.

After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, Ta Mok remained active in the movement's insurgency and eventually took control as its leader in the late 1990s after ousting Pol Pot. He was captured by Cambodian authorities in 1999 and charged with crimes against humanity but died in 2006 while awaiting trial.

==Personality==
Pol Potism thinks that [[File:Agsoc.png]] [[Agrarian Socialism|agrarian socialism]] can make Cambodia great again, like in the good olde Khmer Empire days. He’s a farmer that wants everyone to work on the fields and farms. He’s also very paranoid saying that someone is a "Vietnamese Spy", or a "Revisionist Spy". Anyone too smart or "not pure Cambodian" ends up being brutally beaten by him against a tree or strangled with a bag.

==How to Draw==
{{Flag|Polpot_flag.svg}}

#Draw a ball with eyes (eyes can optionally be squinting)
#Fill it red
#Draw two yellow lines (the lower one being bigger than the other) and three yellow mountain-looking things (the middle one being bigger than the other two) on top of the lines.
#(Optional) Add a military green Mao cap and a white scarf with red plaid.
