I would probably get a brain trust of trusted leftists to advise me on the best course of action. Given what we know about how the conflict with capital went over the course of the 20th century, it would probably involve doing something around the time either before or during the Great War.
Or maybe you could just go back and bring what you know to Marx himself to get his feedback.
Imagining Marx arrives in the present day, spends six months researching and learning about everything that happened in the 20th century, then writes a 10,000 page unedited mess of a manuscript about what should be done differently (good ending) or becomes hopelessly addicted to social media (bad ending)
Synthesis: he writes 10000 tweets about what should be done differently.
what is to be done if we have a time machine?
Give Carl a typewriter, Jenny can spend the time she would have been transcribing him writing theory herself
