Polpot received the right to rule Cambodia on a silver plate due to all the turmoils caused by US bombing and anti Vietnamese sentiments (partly due to the spill of the US-Vietnamese war). Yet he chose to demolish everything he think is against him. He also goes against every other communist leaders' teaching,he didn't listen to Mao, didn't build friendly relation with any other communist nation,and instead force people to achieve unattainable goal and give free order to his underling to kill anyone that Angkar deem traitor (Angkar is full incompetent people that shift the blame from themselves to ordinary people) Polpot also decided to invade Vietnam without proper management or logical reason with his army of indoctrinated soldier. The invasion failed miserably as if Poplpot forgot that he gave the order to kill anyone that have experience in any other field besides farming. In short,Salut Sar has the brain capacity of a child.
I don't think listening to Mao would of changed anything considering Mao was a incredibly self assured moron who refused to listen to the Soviet Union, leading to millions of deaths with his retarded Great Leap Forward policies. (Which he promptly blamed Rightists for, because somehow they were the sole reason they failed)
As someone who has had family suffer during the Killing Fields I want to thank you for making this video. No human being should ever suffer such atrocity, for what Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge did was pure inhumanity.💀
The third and first songs are very beautiful. It is a shame their singers Sinn Sisamouth and Pen Ron were killed during the Khmer genocide. Edit: I just visited Cambodia! The country was very beautiful, but seeing the killing fields and S21 were incredibly depressing. You don’t truly witness the cruelty until you visit, the thought of standing in the same place thousands suffered can be really unsettling
Cambodian music of 60's and 70's is genuinely some of the world's best (forgotten) music - I'm so glad to have discovered it a few months ago (by accident)!
@@theyeening Haha its the same story for me friend. I am so glad I discovered not only the music but the history behind it as well. One day I will go to Cambodia to visit the nation and the sights where horror had taken its course. Such a beautiful country with some very dark periods in its time.
Its been a while, quarter way through I had to delete it and redo it because of historical inaccuracies (so that explains why it took some time), anyways I hope you guys like it and music links are in the description!
as a cambodian, i find this really sad. even since when my mum’s grandpa died to pol pot and “My Dad’s Dad” had to help in Pol Pot, sadly he died last year. I experienced alot.
I’m sorry for your loss and may they Rest In Peace. I have empathy for you because my father’s family had to suffer the same. It’s a shame such atrocious actions occur through humanity.🙏🏽
Fun fact: To destroy you is no loss, to keep you is no gain was a real motto used by the Khmer Rouge. It was a reference to the so-called "New People" which were exploited and controlled by Pol Pot's government just for being from urban areas.
For better or worse, the attempt to attack Vietnam was what took him out of government. Because if he hadn't attacked history would probably leave something much more macabre than what he already did.
1: Pen Ran song (Cambodian song) 2: Giải Phồng Miền Nam (vietnamese song) 3: Snaeha (Cambodian song) 4: Look in the owl (sat tee touy) (No singing and talking)
well done i think the only thing i have a problem is the song that went with the khmer rouge take over scene: that song was not even made or used by the khmer rouge, they'd kill anyone playing that song, but it's so overplayed with the KR that it has achieved meme status. the song was actually played during the Republic Years.
Vividly demonstrates Cambodia’s history during the Cold War. Pol Pot's strange logic: If my enemies oppose me, it means that I am right; if my friends support me, it means that I am indeed correct; if my enemies agree with me, then I am even more right; if my friends oppose me, it means that he is a counterrevolutionary. The amazing thought becomes a meme today.
