I have read some of the works of Marx (not all of it because there is so much of it). And its not a work of art, Marx was more focused on the historical dialectic and proving the inevitability of the failure of capitalism, he didn't really have a plan for communism, even the Communist Manifesto is more just a vague outline mixed with yet another critique of capitalism. The planning of what a communist state (since the abolition of the nation state which Marx also backed is complete garbage) was worked out by later communists. Marx's intelligence was directed towards the past and the present. The future was thought about by people like Lenin, Mao, Castro, etc.
And by your own admission, China is not Marxist. China is booming because of foreign CAPITAL investment. Cuba was only doing okay when they received generous Soviet aid packages. Now the Cuban people can only buy anything on the black (or as I would call it, free) market, using foreign currency.
