If you can demonstrate that by following Marx it will always lead to Stalin or worse then no, it's not (and you can).

Very short version - Marxism is a way of organizing the intellectual / managerial / priestly class by promising them power in the name of "the workers". It issues many many more shares of power than it can deliver. 1/2

When the revolution arrives, all the intellectuals try to cash in and quickly discover that the promises were lies but everything is up for grabs so they set to killing each other. One of them wins and if he's a cynic becomes Stalin or if he's a true believer becomes Pol Pot.

No - just revolutionary movements that promise that every intellectual gets to own all that merchant produced stuff that they envy.
