I remember reading that he saw communism arising naturally after late stage capitalism, not before. Unless I’m filling in the blanks of my memory.

If you can blame him for anything, you can say that he couldn't imagine just how bad late stage capitalism could get.

Though I'm not sure if that takes away from his other arguments or makes them all the more prevalent.
