“I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating … in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year … and are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400. ...”
One biographer claims Marx decided to try his hand at financial speculation after hearing of the killing that German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle was making on the stock market. Another biographer suggests that some encouragement was provided by Engels (who was part owner of a cotton mill and knowledgeable about business matters).
Further on in his letter to his uncle, Marx says that he is going to do some more trading:
“… now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, [but] it’s worthwhile running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money.”
Proles Podcast (RIP) did an episode about a soviet spy in Japan who started a business and just made a killing and was extremely profitable. Sometimes Communists are better Capitalists.
I see a perpetual struggle over whether China is Doing A Capitalism or simply generating an enormous surplus of value that it's able to export internationally by doing things their own way.
Marx himself dabbled in stock trading.

I know Mussolini dabbled in socialism, that’s why the intra-party politics has to combat liberalism and reactionary ideals.
