>>everyone has to be 100% equal (which in reality means everyone has to be poor as hell). If I am smarter than the guy next to me, or if I work harder, I better not try to excel.

Marx didn't think so. Marx said a classless society has to be based on highly-developed capitalist society, which means everyone will be equally rich (not poor). The society must be able to provide as much materials to everyone as needed. He repaetedly said poverty is not socialism or communism.

Did Marxism/Communism ever provide a wealthy society?

Wealth is created by individuals who employ their capital to make more capital.
