Please leave Marx out of it. He died in 1883 (34 years before the Russian 
Revolution), he never expected (nor would he have approved) Communism to come 
first to an agrarian, largely pre-industrial country like Russia, and he would 
have been appalled, infuriated, outraged, disgusted, shocked and in every other 
possible way rejected everything Lenin and Stalin and their successors did in 
the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere.
