Democratic Kampuchea (Khmer Rouge), as realized, 1975-1979
20th Century · realized scope
Democratic Kampuchea was the official state and governing administration of Cambodia led by the Communist Party of Kampuchea, commonly known as the Khmer Rouge. It existed from April 1975 to January 1979, when Vietnamese forces entered and the regime lost control of the capital, Phnom Penh. The administration is principally associated with the evacuation of urban populations, the abolition of currency and formal institutions, and the establishment of agrarian collectivization under a leadership cadre known as Angkar.
Cluster:Mobilized Absolutism
Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare show the deepest depressions in the collection, with the procedural Principles low beside them, while Authority & Hierarchy carries the single strongest elevation anywhere in it, joined by Assigned Groups, Security & Stability, and Community & Solidarity. Both sides of the pattern run to their extremes. That depth on both sides is what separates it from Extractive Rule.
