Pol Pot or, as he was known, Brother Number One, believed that
the solution for humanity was to return to an agrarian socialist society
that would become a communist society. He forcibly relocated urban
populations to the countryside and forced them to work on collective
farms. Money was abolished and everyone had to wear the same black
clothing. The pursuit of his simplistic beliefs resulted in the deaths
of about 2 million people.
