What in Marx's vision of the future would make Khrushchev's claim plausible?

Question

If you could remember hearing about Nikita Khrushchev at the united nations taking off his shoe,pounding the desk and announcing "we will bury you". Later he explained, not with a shovel but your own working class will bury you. In this statement he was expressing the faith of the communist party that the triump of the proletariat was inevitable. No physical war would be needed, but the sheer weight of the historical process would inseat capitalism.

Now, while marx would conveniently disown his followers in russia and around the world.

Also what in Marx's vision of the future world would make his claim wishful at best and implausible at worst-given the adaptability of capitalism, and the will to divide evidenced in human history creating new classes?

Let me know what people think! I thought this question was quit interesting.
