30. You'll have to direct me to the part of Marx

That specifies such evil. You said the ideology itself is evil, not Stalin or Pol Pot, not authoritarianism, but ideologies are that center equality.

And what of Hitler? Is his genocide better because it was not justified through the ideology you have declared evil?

Or the hundreds of thousands who fill the mass graves in Central America? Are those deaths less consequential because those who killed them were anti-communist? Or should those deaths be interpreted as evidence of the evil of the ideology of capitalism?

This is not whataboutism. It's not an effort to diminish those deaths by pointing to others. Rather, it's to point out that men and regimes do the killing, not ideologies.
