"I had no feeling, did not pity anything. I had no desire to possess anything,"

The words of revolutionary firebrands from all ages in all cultures. Robespierre may as well have said the same. Revolution is organized theft, nothing more.

Interesting you mentioned Robespierre. I was just thinking of the parallels between the Cambodian revolution and the French. A hate-driven revolt against the rich which resulted in the deaths, and a greater degradation, of both rich and poor alike.
