Question

How did the idea of Karl Max affect the action of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia?

Answer 1

The Khmer Rouge were a communist force. Karl Marx was the inventor of communism. If he had not existed, perhaps they would have followed a diffrent ideal. But the Rouge was not very "communist" in its ideas, as they removed all educated people and destroyed the workforce.
