How do Marxists see the USSR, China under Mao, Hoxhua, North Korea, Pol Pot, and Sendero Luminoso?

Let me guess:

USSR and Mao generally good, particularly given circumstances; Hoxhua who?; North Korea better than South Korea (and PRC even today is better than ROC); Pol Pot wasn't a true Scotsman; and you like at least a few RATM songs.

    You're pretty close, generally. Pol Pot wasn't a Marxist at all, though, the Khmer Rouge rejected Marxism, and his form of "communism" was deeply anti-materialist and was idealist in nature. He was also stopped by the Vietnamese. Hoxha is Hoxha. The Korea bit and USSR/PRC bits are of course oversimplified, but broadly accepted as correct.
