How did Marx specifically envision we the people getting the power?

The power to do what the party tells you to do, or to have your family murdered.

Marx was only really good at describing what was happening not at predicting or advising.

He thought eventually capitalism would collapse on it's own as the workers wages would be cut so low they wouldn't be able to buy anything. However this was actually corrected in his own life time with the state stepping in with social safetynets and company regulation so anyone who still believes that will happen is very, very out of date. He also imagined street fighting as in the French revolution. He was involved in street fighting and barricades himself and like many men he loved that shit, found it fun, exciting and didn't see anything wrong with violence.
