About Communist Party of Kampuchea
The Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), also known as the Khmer Communist Party, was a Marxist-Leninist and Maoist political party in Kampuchea. Its leader was Pol Pot, and its members were generally known as the Khmer Rouge. Originally founded in 1951, the party was split into pro-Chinese and pro-Soviet factions as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, with the former led by the Pol Pot faction and the latter aligned with the Soviet Union, which the Pol Pot faction denounced as revisionist. While pro-Chinese, Deng Xiaoping criticised the Khmer Rouge for engaging in "deviations from Marxism–Leninism". Albania's Enver Hoxha referred to Pot as a "barbarous fascist". As such, it claimed that 30 September 1960 was its founding date; it was named the Workers' Party of Kampuchea, before it was renamed the Communist Party in 1966.
