You're right, and I think that it's putting the cart before the horse. Marxist theory wouldn't exist for another century, and a lot of Marx's observations that led him to his theories were contingent upon the world that the enlightenment brought about. Had Marx been born 100 years earlier, he probably would have been a Republican (in the Jacobin sense, not the modern US party sense).
