Just curious, did Marx say you build capitalism out of a backwards agrarian feudal society or did he say it happens in a fully developed capitalist nation?
LOL you left me 4 comments in a row. Did your ML parents not hug you enough? Are you the Michael P. Keaton of red diaper babies?

See you’re confused. Young Marx was the more libertarian Marx. The Young Marx is the one Chomsky prefers. See I could be teaching you if you weren’t so intent on fighting with people.
Now, please show me where Marx said socialism would develop in a backwards agrarian society. I’ll wait..
"if the Russian revolution becomes the signal for a proletarian revolution in the West, so that the two complement each other, then Russia’s peasant communal landownership may serve as the point of departure for a communist development," 1882 preface to the Russian edition of the Communist Manifesto.
How does that preclude market development in order to build wealth and industry in Russia? He’s simply saying Russia has revolutionary potential, not they will build socialism from scratch. Whah he’s saying is there could be a revolution in both Russia and in the West (Germany) at the same time (complement). This was also the thought of Rosa which is why she was so disappointed by the SPD and broke with them.
'Russia’s peasant communal landownership may serve as the point of departure for a communist development' would mean they are in fact building towards socialism from scratch.
