nothing. He wanted to industrialize his country just like any 3rd world stalinist dictator. People like to meme about him being some primitivist but that is an absolute lie of the west against him. He wanted to use the urban population to farm for capital to kickstart industrialization.

He used to hangout in my grandpa's town

lol what? wheres your proof that he didnt target the intellectuals?

Prolly mad cos he couldnt see through his chinkish eyes

It was just a prank

Intellectuals against revolution, you mean

Retard, his entire goal was a complete, revolutionary deindustrialization of the country to return it to an entirely agrarian society like the Khmer kingdom.

that doesn't matter. He was still another man who wanted to industrialize his nation using radical methods. “If we have rice, we have everything” is the quote that shows this as it only meant that increasing rice production was a first step toward modernization. In a September 1978 interview, Pol Pot claimed all the major industries damaged by American bombing had been restored and more were being built. He was lying, of course, but there was no indication he wanted to return to a pre-modern, idyllic past.

Wikipedia isn't a reliable source on controversial figures.

that wasn't instigated by Pol Pot himself.

get your history from sources that are not from wikipedia. He wanted rice exports as the first steps to modernize his backwards country even through that led to death of 2 million people.
