The correct answer is: an extreme political ideology.
Indeed, the movement’s ideology was a very dogmatic blend of several ideologies and outlooks. They were heavily Stalinist and Maoist in their leftism; extremely xenophobic against both foreigners and national non-Khmer minorities and extremely agrarian.
With regards to their Stalinist/Maoist outlook they believed in absolute obedience to the party and its leaders, with a set of inviolable strict rules and laws and the belief that the ends justified any means.
They loathed national minorities as they saw them as a stain on their national Khmer purity and they despised foreigners because they refused to ever be colonized again, whether by Westerners or Asians.
They also considered that urban, capitalistic society was a disease and sought to eradicate it by eradicating its people.
They realized that nothing really changed much. The freed African-Americans still had almost no political rights and the system was controlled mostly by corrupt politicians who came from the north to become rich. The regular people still had huge farms and turned the former slave system into a system of sharecropping which was in many ways similar to slavery. The freedom was very superficial and in reality people still lived as bad as before the war.
