Marx and Lassalle clashed over whether to ally with bourgeoisie or Prussian state

Evidence

G. D. H. Cole partially accounts for the differences between Marx/Engels and Lassalle in programmatic terms: “No doubt there was much, in theory, that they had in common; and the issues which divided them seemed unimportant to most of their followers. But in practical politics they were poles apart, because Marx was for the bourgeoisie against the Prussian State, whereas Lassalle was fully prepared to side with the Prussian State against the bourgeoisie.” — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 1657
