Within the Khmer language the name ‘Pol Pot’ is written as ‘ប៉ុល ពត’, with the Chinese language ideograms suggesting the meaning of a ‘Bull-like Individual Who Delivers a Special Message with the Force of a Wave (hitting the shore)’. I intend to carefully research this subject and move through its terrain very carefully, with the idea that this research will encourage others to think for themselves and not accept the rather lazy mainstream narratives at face-value. As usual I reject a priori the bourgeois interpretations as being bias and unreliable, whilst seeking to establish facts from primary Chinese language (and other) sources. There is no need to ‘defend’ this method as it is nothing other than good academic practice.
That is why, when Preobrazhensky and Trotsky declared at the October plenum that they wanted to save the Party through democracy, but that the C.C. was blind and saw nothing, the C.C. laughed at them and replied: No, comrades, we, the C.C., are wholeheartedly for democracy, but we do not believe in your democracy, because we feel that your “democracy” is simply a strategic move against the C.C. motivated by your factionalism.
