Do you really hold Marx responsible for all those deaths?
First you're only seeing one side of the coin, only the negative - and you're being stupid because Marx didn't kill all those people. That's highly derivative, it's like blaming Darwin for the holocaust. Marx saw that an oppressed and starving work force in England at the time suffered and didn't have much rights while supporting the people of the upper crust. Marx thought this was unfair - he was a humanitarian which makes your comment seem rather naive and needlessly defensive.
