Cambodia and the Khmer Isarak

There was a communist movement of foot in Cambodia in the late 40s and early 50s, but it was dominated by the Vietnam. They weren't really successful in spreading communism, but they had some success working with an anti colonial rebel movement called the Khmer Isarak. Many of their leaders wore what were known as Kunkrock or Smoke Children, which are amulets made from mummified fetuses that were said to stop bullets. One former government soldier described his unit's work as killing men and women who had not already fled.
