Nobody can even ask Twitter for an explanation.

If there was a “NaziFanAccount” I’d expect it to be banned. And Nazi ideology killed far fewer people than Marxist ideology in the 20th century.
Is this the case for everyone else?
Karl Marx' ideology never promoted hate unlike Nazi ideology.
- The Motorcycle Diaries
- The Jewish Question
- Das Kapital
These were written within ideological contexts and contain things that we would consider hate speech today. Very much perpetuating ideas like:
- lazy Mexcians
- Jewish world conspiracy
- Black people (he would call them the n-word) being closer to the "animal kingdom" than man.
And they did all of these in ideological constructs.
For the Jewish Question, he shared some antisemitic views towards Judaism with his peers. The difference is that he advocated for their incorporation into society as opposed to being second class citizens. He believed that the transition from capitalism into communism would reform Judaism away from what they were antisemitic about.
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.
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.
The fact that professed followers of Marx riffed somewhat on his themes doesn't make his ideology any fluffier.
