Literally what about the KR was "Marxist"? You can argue that they were socialist in the crassest, broadest sense, but nothing about their project is Marxist specifically that I've ever heard of, and all of what I've heard (e.g. glasses) is anti-Marxist.
Now granted, I think Deng was probably right that the number of people the KR killed gets exaggerated significantly (people say 25% of the population, which is absurd), but the people they killed were still mostly Cambodian civilians and they would have been happy to kill more than they are accused of if they viably could kill more civilians than they already did and were given some excuse by their doctrines (e.g. glasses).
At least, this is my understanding of the matter. I'm happy to be corrected (except on them being Marxist, because I'm pretty confident that they weren't).
