"What's the difference between Marxism & just unrealistic idealism"

Difference between Marxism and unrealistic idealism, not between Marxism and other political regimes.

But I'd love to see an example of a Marxist regime bigger than a kibbutz that does not display that pattern, if you have one.

This is a nebulous question you are just going to move the goalposts whatever answer I give seeing as every political regime in history has some degree of enrichment for its leaders. This leaves aside the whole "name a successful example except for these successful examples"

Yeah, I couldn't come up with one, either.

Kibbutzim are questionably successful at best - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbutz_crisis for example, but they seem to be an upper scalability limit.
