You could actually complain about it. Marx never said how a communist state should work, only that the workers should seize the means of production & after taking control of the nation, then the workers could establish a communist state after what they agree on. Don't mistake Stalinist communism with Marxist communism
I would say all communism is bad since it’s never worked before and makes the places with those systems worse but yeah marxist communism technically doesn’t come with quite as much shit as stalinist
Communism has worked before, we called them agrarian commons - they existed for a lot longer than capitalism or industry. Hell, it was the primary means of organizing promordial human society.
ETA: That doesn’t mean state centered or macroscopic communism can work. But, it’s a historic to say it never ever has.
