Was Marx Permissive of Aulthoritarianism?

One of the critiques we often here is that Marx's writing was permissive of (whether or not he favored) authoritarian political conduct. Is this true? How so, exactly? And if so, can you help me find where in Marx's writing people are extrapolating this conclusion from?

Who says this?

Marx didn't particularly give an account of how governments ought to behave, so it's all a bit sideways from his work.
