It's more nuanced than you may think. We all know that marx was a jew, but marxism itself is only halfway made up of marx's jewish worldview. The other half of it comes from Engels, who was aryan. This leads to an interesting dichotomy and is likely the cause of marxism's splintering during the early days of the labor movement.

And I can categorize the splintering of marxism into 3 separate categories:

Orthodox marxism. This is the core of what marxism was originally and it has never been particularly successful. The only people who have ever really represented orthodox marxism are anarchists such as kropotkin.

Sorelian marxism. This is where it gets... weird. Georges Sorel was a French heterodox marxist thinker active in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Sorel was unique in combining marxist theory with blatant reactionary and monarchist theory. This is the variant of Marxism that spawned mussolinis fascism and therefore every third positionist movement afterwards. It played a smaller role in the formation of the 3rd type of marxism:

Leninism. Somewhere between sorelianism and classical marxism. Has more reactionary traits than orthodox marxism but fewer than sorelian marxism, and it was inspired by both. Leninism would spawn multiple cadet ideologies like stalinism, maoism, juche, etc.

What is important to understand: it can be valuable to cherry-pick the theories of Marxism in the same manner as Georges Sorel or Mussolini. Why? Because marx wasn't wrong about anything, we are currently living in the era of the fulfillment of what he wrote about in Kapital. The issue with marx was in his solution, but his and engels' predictions are very much true. The wise person sees the writing on the wall and learns from this. When you read marx you understand the problem, but it should be up to you to decide the solution for the problem.
