I seem to have missed where Marx talks about cults of personality, ethnic purging and gulags.
Read Marx again. Read the parts about how religion is the opiate of the people and such. Read his perspective on private property and such. I know you think these ideas are in a vacuum and he's innocent but he's not. There's a reason why so many of his readers whether in South America or Russia or wherever else always came to similar conclusions. Marxism is theory, the various forms of communism are merely theory meeting real life application.

Many "victims" claim to be innocent, while in reality they were criminals
Wtf does this even mean? I know my grandmother and other victims that were literally shipped to Siberia because either they were Christians, or they were considered bourgeoisie this isn't fable this is fact. Being a Christian and owning a little land when the communists came rolling through was not a good time.
