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”.

Makes sense I guess. You’re pretty much screaming for funding from the west when you’re fighting their geopolitical enemy and also telling your followers “no I haven’t read Marx, now go shoot those scientists”
