It's more than a little Orwellian!

For example Pol Pot and his henchmen justified their mass murder by accusing their victims as enemies of the "equalitarian state" [1].

It's interesting that this is being downvoted. Do the downvoters question the historical veracity of the connection between totalitarianism (such as Pol Pot's) and equality?

I assume the downvoters take issue with your comparison between one of the worst genocidal regimes in history to one of the most unassuming, high functioning democracies by using only the similarity in a naming convention that the two different states used.

Slaughtering people is not "equality".
