That's not exactly a sin in the technical sense of the word, is it?

And I'm fairly positive Marx never advocated a Communist Government (which, as you said, is an oxymoron). He predicted there'd be a worker's revolution, which would lead to a gradual eroding of the need for a state. Obviously this is unlikely to happen, but I'm not sure that someone being wrong about something is cause for eternal damnation, do you?
