Well, Marx himself believed that Capitalism and its markets had to evolve to a sufficiently advanced and truly technical state in order for Communism to be possible. And there was no explicit supposition that markets themselves should be abolished, which he viewed as one of the most creative forces in human history.

The problem for the early revolutionaries is that they either ignored or mistook these preconditions, and relied on authoritarianism to try and "hasten history." This obviously didn't work.
