I'm not sure whether gnarbarian is trolling or just operating outside his range of understanding, but those with an honest interest in the subject will find that Marxist-inflected schools of thought of course comprise many diverse and lively intellectual disciplines, which have influenced many politicians and leaders in decidedly non-Stalinist nations around the world, from MLK Jr. to the probable future Prime Minister of Great Britain. The other obvious rejoinder to the parent comment is that if Stalinism is "Marxism in practice", than in equal measure the wholesale genocidal slaughter of millions of Native Americans, Koreans, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, Iraqis etc. carried out by the United States can be said to be capitalism in practice, not to mention the century plus of horrific atrocities committed by the capitalist nations of Western Europe and East Asia (of course, many Marxists would say that this is exactly right).
