The Khmer Rouge's plan for Cambodia was to move people from the cities into an agrarian lifestyle with the removal of social institutions, such as places of higher education. The ideology of the Khmer Rouge was extreme Marxism combined with xenophobia. The main leader, Pol Pot, idealized the Angkor Empire, which had existed from 802-1431 and did not want to enter a modernization period and the new Cambodia.
