Nobody will ever know for sure. You can ask them but I doubt they'll tell you.

Yeah, he gives the other ones a bad name. Ho chi minh, stalin, lenin, mao, they were all great guys till pol pot messed it up. Get real, they were all murderers. The CIA did not put him in power, conspiracy theory. The Khmer Rouge were all french educated commies that returned to their country and incited revolution which was simple after how bad the U.S. messed up in vietnam.

No, the CIA brought some real fascists into power (Pinochet, Bush) but we actually fought that one. He's one of the communists that give other communists a bad name.
