    You said pol pot read stalin specifically. But stalin was basically a Leninists, and by extension that would make pol pot a centrist Leninist that thought evolution was from cooperation or something. Seems not true.

      Yes, he read Stalin, and Kropotkin. Along with other things (such as Mao, importantly). I'm not sure what you mean by "thought evolution was from cooperation". But, like, Stalin and Kropotkin are pretty disparate things, and I guess these things combined into his mind aided by his brain worms into whatever super weird nonsense he ended up believing.

        Lol, sounds like quite a party.

        It was a joke about mutual aid: a factor of evolution.
