Without Marx, communism as we know it does not exist. You're not going to see a communist state of any kind.

Most likely, some of the minorities get away from Russia, but the government from the first otl revolution gets stays in being for a while.

Wrong about the butterfly effect. Communism until the 1910s had just about no influence on the world. Marx dying or not existing would have very small impact on the world until that time period, and, even then, it not existing would change little, overall.

Fascism had little to do with communism in its rise.
