That doesn't invalidate his observations though, mainly just his predictions--many of which take human nature into account anyways. Lenin wrangled some of his ideas into his own method of practice which indeed was idealistic. Reason I've asked is because most people associate Marx with communism and Leninism and while related, his actual work differs and actually does have a lot of merit.
