How could Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouges’ ideology spread outside of Cambodia and into other third world countries?
I suppose you could have a more generic kind of Zero Hour Marxism taking up the concept of rebooting society through deindustrialization while ditching the Khmer nationalism part.Cambodian nationalism (as well as anti-Vietnamese racism) was an integral aspect of the ideology of the Khmer Rouge. I don't see how it can be exported easily to other countries without radically changing it.
Democratic Kampuchea was and would probably continue to be in the US-China bloc rather than trying to do its own thing

After Vietnam invaded Cambodia on Dec. 25, 1978, and stopped the genocide, we were anti-Vietnam.. . Democratic Kampuchea was and would probably continue to be in the US-China bloc . .
What about Khmer Rouge ideology outside the specific Khemer or Cambodian ideogies. Meaning no Khmer nationalism, and no racism based on historical Khmer experiences and predjudices.Cambodian nationalism (as well as anti-Vietnamese racism) was an integral aspect of the ideology of the Khmer Rouge.

maybe not in absolute terms, but Mao had a certain popularity simply because he could turn a pithy phrase. And Pol Pot also spent effort on phrases and slogans (one can judge with what success). . . the Hoxaites never became a huge thing anywhere, but then, neither did Maoists, in absolute terms.
