Marx is a real life figure, comparing them to fiction is just a strawman, sad to say.. even if they inspired fiction you can't have real-life examples of CM for a reason.. it devolves into political beating of chests (there is no "right" philosophy nor no truly "wrong" one, every camp has incredibly cruel people in them.. that's why politics is not discussed often.. because *no one* is without flaws and it becomes a flame-war quickly).

whatever your views on real-world may be it can not and should not be the end-all of what qualifies a fictional character.. the debate was on whether Palpatine was deluded, we agreed he was not.. no need to sink the discussion into a personal rant on the evils of a philospher you disagree on (go to Real Life Villains for that or the /p/ forums).
