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”.

Pol Pot said that communism was the enemy and that they needed to emulate the west shortly after Vietnam invaded them lol. Don’t think he was anything but an opportunist.
