No, Marxism and Communism were worked out universal theories before any governments adopted them.

Marxism was, but Lenin and Mussolini were his greatest students/interpreters - both were theorists and practitioners, and analogous to one another as Soviet Communism and Italian Fascism were to one another.

Quite interesting that fascist politics emerges directly from Marxist politics. Few know this.

It is not at all strange that Italy was so Marxist after the War, nor that Fascist and Communist movements should behave so interchangeably (E. Germany, Romania, etc.).
