He was literally not a socialist (or a liberal) because he thought he could transition Cambodia into communism by emptying the cities and destroying nascent industry and bringing everyone to the countryside. I guess he could maybe be described as a kind of primitivist, though not an anarcho-primitivist.
I don't want to offend anyone or be sectarian, but the Shining Path and the Khmer Rouge are probably my least favorite communists.

Auth-primitivist?
That sounds like a good name for a real stinker of an ideology.

I do not know much about Shining Path. I should probably read something about them.
Do you have anything that is better than Wikipedia, who basically call anything communist some sort of terrorism or fascism....
Bad Empanada has a good video on them.
Woof, that is an hour long. I will watch that on like Monday or something.

I mean, I'll find an hour. That's the length of a podcast or an episode of prestige TV. I just don't have an hour today or tomorrow.
