No! Marx in Das Kapital and other works dedicated a great deal to make a philosophical framework to study the Capitalist Mode of Production as a phenomenon in Industrial Revolution England. Additionally, he made arguments about how the material conditions shaped human society. (Which you can in retrospective say it was obvious, but it wasn't so at the time and even nowadays history is taught in the Great Man Theory - https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Great_Man_theory https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Great_Man_theory )
Marx predicted an uprising in England from Factory Workers, not in agricultural Russia and it was a big source of head scratching for Marxists at the time. The Bolshevik Revolution was at odds with Marxist theory. (Which doesn't mean he was wrong with his description of capitalism at the time)
At least read the wikipedia ( https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Marxism https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Marxism ) page before attempting to disparage a theory with strawmans.
