As soon as the Khmer Rouge gained power they classified the people into two groups. They were either "base people" or "new people". The Khmer Rouge believed that those who were classified into the "new people" group, they were brainwashed with the Western views. They thought that because of this their minds needed to be "cleansed". However, these were not the only groups that people were classified in and discriminated against. The intellectuals, Ethnic Vietnamese, Ethnic Chinese, Muslim Cham, and Christians were as well.

Pol Pot's Expectations and Plans for Cambodia 

# data[].attributes.body
Pol Pot was personally inspired by many tribes in the northeast of Cambodia’s Northeast. He admired their teamwork and envied their money, wealth, and unity in religion of which he was striving for Cambodia alone. The roots of their of their amalgamation can track back to the early 1650s, when the aspect of communism became more relevant in Cambodia, following with the ruling of a monarchy. In 1960 he managed the group to adopt the political ideology of the soviet union, following the path of communism. Under the power of Pol Pot and the tyranny of the Khmer Rouge they overall controlled every aspect and necessity of a citizen's life. Strict rules were created toward a human beings relationships, language, and clothing. The evacuation of an estimated 2.5 million citizens occurred in the capital of Phnom Penh. The elderly of this group were sent to the rural areas, and put into the identification of the "peasant class" and pushed the younger generations of feeding citizens to the central points of the cities.

The Khmer Rouge also seeked to disperse all ethnic and religious groups during the genocide. They classified these religion and ethnic groups by hostiling individuals from their practicing of the religion or any other customs and speaking their language.

A weird article that was often used to symbolize intellectuals or someone who has the power to read and communicate. They wanted all of those who were not a part of the Khmer Rouge to not have an education. They did not want them to ever have the power to overthrow them.

The extermination of those who were unwanted was not necessarily all in the same way. Children were removed from their parents and put in labor camps. If you were not killed directly you were tortured to death, and starved. Those who died in this genocide died of execution, starvation, disease, and just pure exhaustion and abuse. To help the Khmer Rouge gain more power, and execute more and more people. children were brainwashed. The Khmer Rouge taught children nothing less than to want to be a part of the Khmer Rouge.

Something that may fall under both preparation and extermination is that the Khmer Rouge taught the children to hate their parents and families, allowing them to more easily become part of the Khmer Rouge. The children were forced to take part in the process of executing as well, in fact, some of their victims were their own parents.

Before death, the Cambodians were tortured. In awful, painful ways. The Khmer Rouge chose to torture them in the following ways: electric shock, hanging, searing people with hot metal instruments, drowning them, pulling out their nails, as well as pouring alcohol on open cuts so that they would burn. They wanted the Cambodians to feel the pain.

This stage targets the citizens who have yet to choose a side. The Khmer Rouge would allow citizens to choose between whether if they were going to be with or against them. This stage is closely related to classification however in a much more extremist fashion
