I don't mean to derail the conversation, but "Marxism" is a body of political and economic thought. Authoritarians who call themselves communists are... a different thing, simply. Otherwise there wouldn't be a word in left-wing circles to describe the maniacs who apologise for those regimes like the USSR or China (the word is 'Tankies')
