My favorite inept Pol Pot Moment was when he misread a Marx passage on money and decided to dissolve the national currency, instantly tanking the economy and essentially making all state employees slaves as they no longer received wages for their work. Then the population had to start using rice as a currency like it was fucking 5000 BCE again.

Well, to his credit, he did admit he didn't understand Marx.
