"How many millions of people have been killed due to his evil ideology?"

That's a point of contention. Is the idea that people can't own property, therefore the means to secure their own existence, evil? Perhaps. But then, it was acting upon that idea that was truly evil. I tend to think that people like Pol Pot were evil to begin with, and Marxism was the inspiration they needed to justified it, so they wouldn't have to think of themselves as evil.

At the very least, Marx was just plain wrong. The need of the individual to own property doesn't come from society, but the other way around. It's as natural to us as breathing. Where he got his ideas, I don't know.
