Pol Pot lead a rebellion in Cambodia and established a regime known as the Khmer Rouge.
The Khmer Rouge killed over a million people in Cambodia in the 1970's. He evacuated towns and put doctors, businessmen, teachers etc to work on the land in collective farms. It was a disaster. Eventually his government fell but he spent the next decade fighting a guerilla war.
Watch The Killing Fields.

He took all of the people who disagreed with his regime and had them killed.
Some reports suggest over a million other estimates of up to 3 million. 25%-33% of the population.
He welcomed a totalitarian govt and became big brother number one
All of the intellectuals were taken out into the fields to become peasants again.
A horrible reminder of Hitler and the Taliban

He would have people killed just for wearing glasses. Read Death by Government by R.J. Rummel and watch The Killing Fields. He commited mass murder.
