If Pol Pot proclaimed to be fascist from the get go instead of pretending to be communist, he would absolutely get uncritical support from conservatives and his actions would be framed as “just did what he had to do to protect Cambodia from communism”
Can you imagine some fascist leader in Eastern Europe revolting against soviet forces ever being popular?
They’d probably end up doing something like supporting the Nazis even as the Nazis killed many of their own people (many of whom fought FOR the Soviet Union), then return there after the war, then be killed off in the, say, 1950’s
There’s no way westerners and their own country would lionize them, no shot
