How? What do you know of the theory?
If something is not part of communist theory, what sense does it make to call it a part of communism?
And yes, genocidal ideologies do in fact have genocide in their theory. Just read anything written by Hitler or Mussolini.
every time it was tried communism failed eventually. it always caused oppression and in extreme cases even genocide. it doesn't really matter what the theory looks like if that's the reality
If your cake recipe asks for flour, sugar, milk and eggs, and you decide to use piss instead of milk, and shit instead of eggs, I'm not gonna buy it when people eat your cake and say cakes taste like shit and piss, though I will agree that your particular attempt did.

They literally took the existing theory and re-wrote it into Marxism-Leninism and then a state applied the theory.
