'''Pol Pot''' (born '''Saloth Sar''' May 19, 1928 – 1998) was the ruthless [[Cambodia]]n [[Communism|Communist]] [[dictator]] and [[genocide|genocidist]] responsible for killing 1-3 million Cambodians in the late 1970s (nearly a third of the Cambodian population). Anyone thought to be intellectual was murdered, including the killing of people simply for knowing a foreign language or even merely wearing glasses. Pol Pot held power through a combination of enormous charm and complete ruthlessness. Among Communists, he is infamous for being a Communist who apparently did not even like to read the works of [[Marx]] {{cn}}.
