Yes, perhaps Marxism was done a disservice by trying to impose it on agrarian, aristocratic civilizations like Russia and China instead of industrialized, capitalist civilizations like Germany and the United States. The history of Soviet industrialization under Stalin almost reads more like a Marxist caricature of industrial capitalism. And it was probably also done a disservice by the fact that when it was imposed on industrialized countries, it was done so at force and after significant devastation and confiscation of any remaining valuable industrial equipment (e.g. East Germany). However, it's also clear that 19th century industrial capitalism never really led to Marxist revolution.
