The original source(PDF) is quite interesting and not at all trite. Summary: Marx didn’t invent communism, he just preached it. His primary achievement was to bind socialist philosophy into the structure of an (existing) apocalyptic theology, which made it vastly more contagious.

Which can never be said for the oh-so consistent and selfless rational followers of objectivism, I’m sure.
“Selfless” objectivists?! And I do believe objectivists are pretty consistent about saying that Marxism and communism aren’t significantly different.
Really early Christians were communists in the true sense.
