旁白:本集讲述了萨洛斯·萨尔从法国留学期间的转变,以及他在柬埔寨革命中的关键作用。他从一个特权学生转变为共产主义者,最终成为红色高棉的领导人。他的经历与柬埔寨的独立运动、越南战争以及西哈努克国王的统治密切相关。萨尔在法国接触了共产主义思想,并在南斯拉夫亲眼目睹了共产主义社会的运作。回到柬埔寨后,他加入了柬埔寨人民革命党,并与越盟合作。在经历了多次政党改组和领导人更迭后,他最终成为柬埔寨共产党的领导人,也就是后来的红色高棉领导人。他的思想受到马克思、列宁、斯大林和毛泽东的影响,他主张以农民为革命主体,并对西哈努克国王的统治采取了强硬的对抗态度。 Alex Hinton教授:萨尔对马克思主义的解读导致了他参与大规模屠杀。他坚定的信念,虽然看似积极,但却导致了极其恶劣的后果。 Elizabeth Becker:柬埔寨是印度支那地区唯一获得完全独立并保持完整的国家。西哈努克国王独揽了柬埔寨独立的功劳,忽视了包括共产主义者在内的独立运动的贡献。
