So an analogy to the contention that Karl Marx's philosophy wasn't put into practice and he shouldn’t be blame for it might be when some prophet claimed the cure to any sickness is to bash the patient’s skull in.  But one one actually had the tools to do this so his followers settled for pummeling the patient’s faces instead.

Communism in practice led to corruption, tyrannical rule and despotism but Karl Marx's communism was supposed to be about equality for all which is the very opposite of those things.
