Some did identify as Marxist. Not sure how to square that with what counts “as objectively Marxist” since political labels tend to act as a sum of the policies. If a nation that’s canonically supposed to be “Marxist” has a policy out of place, is it “not Marxist”, as opposed to two, three, four, etc.? Without a doubt many nations in the fold of Marx were more unbecoming of Marx himself that the towns I’m thinking of.
