Except Marx was just one of many radical left 19th century philosophers. If not for Marx the world's communists would just follow someone else, possibly Engels given that Marx wasn't even the sole author of much of his work.

Not to mention the "tools" outlined in Marx's books are simply Hegel's philosophy adapted to a materialistic worldview. If he didn't do it someone else certainly would have given contemporary Hegelians already independently came to similar ideas.

Leibniz invented calculus independently a few years later so engineering wouldn't be set back for more than a few decades.

Universal gravitation might have gone undiscovered for a century or more, literally nobody cared about the stuff newton was studying at the time until he told everyone he could calculate the orbit of comets, although the underlying mathematical principles aplicable to gravity on earth would undoubtedly receive a proper mathematical formulation, even if they had more spooky explanations than the ones Newton gave.

All in all making it to the moon on 20th century would be less likely to happen, and the global telecommunications system might have been very different if the implementation of the internet came before a global network of satellites, we'd have fucktons of internet relay stations everywhere.
