Karl Marx’s ideology promoted the violent seizure of assets from the productive class in a revolution to install communism.

The ideology absolutely promoted dictatorship and totalitarianism. There’s no alternative system that can sustain communism, given how opposed it is to basic human nature.

That begs the question of what is basic human nature. We lived through much more tyrannical systems that were assumed to be as God intended. This was what led to violence of democrats and republicans against monarchs.

There is a kernel of truth in that communism could not have existed so far, which is why communist states have went for a transitory approach. They could not leap to communism but they tried to work towards it and failed in many places.

It is basic human nature to want to work for the benefit of your own family, and to expect that if you work harder, you will be rewarded proportionally.

Marxism flies in the face of this premise.
