I am not au-fait enough with Marx to comment. (and I can't be bothered to look it up as I don't want to be depressed)
I don't think that the crimes of communism can be in any way equated with the crimes of religion. Religion has had it's 'blips' and will continue to have them. They have been spread over millenia.
Communism on the other hand has been an unmitigated disaster on both a human and an economic basis worldwide, almost without exeption.
It
is possible to to take the origional cristian teachings and subvert/pervert them to dubious or genocidal goals but on the whole cristianity (and indeed all religions) has stayed true to it's origional beliefs (imo)
Communism has just taken it's origional beliefs and implimented them again and again with the same tragic results, it is built on graves.
