The only person I've ever met who was against communism but very well read on Marx was a very odd Swedish fascist I met online once. It was the strangest conversation. He actually had a good understanding of Capital and knew what a materialist conception of history looks like.
Problem was he was also a bizarre contrarian Catholic fascist. He was against communism, but he did praise Marx's scholarship a few times. He seemed to be some kind of professor or historian though, so this might be cheating. He had to understand Marxism probably because of his job, since I think his field was some kind of 20th century history or sociology or something.
Weird guy, would have been a nice informed conversation if not for his rampant bigotry he didn't conceal. I'd hope reeducation could fix people like him but I'm not holding my breath.
