In Revolutionary Violence in a People's War, Malcolm Caldwell provides a detailed analysis of the Kampuchean Revolution, focusing on the socio-economic strategies implemented by the Pol Pot government to build a self-reliant, agrarian socialist society. It highlights the revolutionary policies of rural collectivization, irrigation projects, and the eradication of foreign influence, emphasizing the importance of food self-sufficiency and the mobilization of the peasantry. The text also critiques Western neo-colonial development models, arguing for the necessity of autonomous, peasant-led development in underdeveloped nations. It serves as a theoretical and practical guide to understanding the Kampuchean model of socialism and its significance in the global anti-imperialist struggle. (edited)
