My personal opinion is I consider the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot to be revisionist rather than fascist, I don’t have the exact quote but didn’t Pol Pot say something along the lines of “I didn’t understand/read Marxist theory”.

I don't think they would really be considered fascist in terms of a marxist definition of it, there might be a fancier term but I think they would be more described as something like a reactionary agrarian nationalist movement.
