American Capitalists understood that Marx was right about the enslaving social conditions of Capitalism, and that's why the Robber Barons hated him, and still do.
On the other hand, Stalin and the Communists "embraced" Marx, much as Western Culture embraces Jesus - the Communists quickly employed Marx to further their own tyrannical purposes.
Both American Capitalists and Stalinist Communists knew that Marx was mostly right - the one group rejected him and made him the supreme enemy of God and Country; the other group "embraced" him and squeezed the life out of him.
