What quotes do you have from Marx or Lenin to back that up. Marx was never in power, and Lenin never went half way around the world to impose regime change. Marx, in particular, was probably naïve enough to believe that capitalism would collapse of its own accord.

I agree completely, but neither case requires us to deviate from NPOV.
My complaint about Fred's argument in this is that he compared an event with a philosophy. The sinfulness that may be associated with Marxism-Leninism is not a sin of the philosophy but of those who sought to impose it.
