Russia/China never really went after Marxist ideals, they always misused his theories to establish dictatorships. As the old Marx said (not exact quote), "One thing I know for sure, I'm no Marxist". Marx theories are just not practicable as they mostly critize capitalism wihtout given a real "cooking recipy" how to construct such a society, as going with hegelerian philosophy Marx was sure capitalism would over the next decades evolve itself into communism as part of the "Aufhebung" concept, that is supposed to drive our universe. But I see we are pretty of topic here already
