It was a capitalistic and anti feudalist, but very internationalist revolution. They wanted to reduce all the limits set by the french monarchy on trade and make France into a dutch-style market economy.
The social aspects of the French revolution were a bigger inspiration to Marx than anything economic about it, which is why marxism is a very social ideology but heterodox socialism, and also heterodox communism, usually are not. Both of the heterodox movements would birth the third position, and the orthodox ones would create bolshevism. Although they had some cross contamination with each other (the ussr's organization of society into "soviets" was heterodox and was mirrored in fascist corporatism. For instance. Mussolini's theory of class dynamics was ultimately marxist as another for instance)
