Ok, I get it. You consider yourself to be part of the noble lineage of "true" Marxists. This is a common belief in all zealots, from the religious ones to the political ones.
But the truth is: that matters only to you. Like it or not, those regimes are what Marxism becomes in practice. Take the "scientific" approach that Marxism claims to follow and see the "objective conditions", see things as they are and what they became, not what you want them to be.
Whenever it tries to abolish capitalism, 140 years of history say that Marxism degenerates into tyranny. This is objective history.

You're jumping to conclusions you have no basis for. I don't consider myself to be part of any "noble lineage" or "true" anything. I am, however, capable of seeing the difference between fundamentally different ideologies without buying into Bolshevik propaganda bullshit.

You're sounding like an orthodox Marxist when you're talking about "objective history". The notion of "objective history" is ludicrous. But, yes, when vanguard revolutionary groups tries to overthrow anything, you should expect tyranny. That is if anything also a Marxist view - the notion of a vanguard group rather than expanding class consciousness would succeed in successfully changing/replacing capitalism is fundamentally at odds with Marxism.
