It cannot be overstated how valuable it is to read Karl Marx’s later work. Among so many other things, he condemned revolutionary efforts in Russia because he viewed capitalism as a necessary stage of progression.

I dunno man, Markist humor seems bourgeois.

I believe “revolutionary efforts in Russia“ above means attempts to bring about a revolution; these spanned a period of many decades before 1917.

The Russian Revolution was an outcome of many decades of events and revolutionary activities, which were hotly debated among dissidents and activists for many decades before that.
