If the people who claim to be marxist ever really read Marx they would be quieted.

The thing is, he's literally wrong about everything. The most successful "Marxists" under Lenin behaved in a manner completely opposite to his theories. Russia wasn't an advanced industrial economy. Revolution there was supposed to be impossible.

Marx also thought the idea of a Revolutionary vanguard was wrong and impossible. He was a bitter enemy of another socialist named Blanqui who advocated the need for a group of professional revolutionaries to lead the way. Lenin did exactly what Blanqui said and ignored Marx, who thought that some spontaneous revolution would happen and a decades long struggle would result in victory.
