They only declared their politics to be communist publicly when Mao asked them to, presumably because he was suspicious that they were not and felt that publicly stating it made it politically easier on him to offer the (mistaken) support to them that he did.
And yet that is what happened. They did heroically liberate Cambodia, and they were absolutely revisionists at best. I don't see how this is difficult for you to understand, the fact that they dissolved and ceased being ""communist"" as soon as it was politically beneficial to do so should be enough to you to show you their commitment to communism as an ideology was paper thin at best. And that's completely ignoring the fact that all of their actions were out of line with communist theory.
