Enlightenment vs Counter-Enlightenment (i.e. Romanticism) which would Karl Marx align more with? (lemmygrad.ml)

Intelligence thinkers of Lemmygrad, I have a philosophy question. Enlightenment follows the Greco-Roman tradition of reason over emotions while Counter-Enlightenment periods like the Romanticism believe that emotion is more important then reason.

I think this may be an oversimplification of these concepts, but I do not have an English or philosophy degree and I have an American education, so I tried my best.

Marx would probably be ambivalent, but if I had to guess, maybe counter-Romanticism.

Things like false consciousness, money hoarding, commodity fetishism etc. are mostly driven by emotions, interests, social conditions and gut.
