- hotnfresh 3y agoLenin, more like. Marx reckoned it’d all happen more-or-less naturally, others decided it needed a push. [edit] ok, nuance, yes he advocated movements to replace capitalism with communism, but he’s not the one mainly associated with attempts to bring communism “too early” (too early by Marx’s reckoning of the timeline of capitalism, that is)
