You're pretty close, generally. Pol Pot wasn't a Marxist at all, though, the Khmer Rouge rejected Marxism, and his form of "communism" was deeply anti-materialist and was idealist in nature. He was also stopped by the Vietnamese. Hoxha is Hoxha. The Korea bit and USSR/PRC bits are of course oversimplified, but broadly accepted as correct.
Thank you for your reply. ๐๐
No problem!
