I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'marx's' is the definition.
(comedian Groucho Marx)

'work inspiring leader of revolution that's uncomfortable' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'inspiring' indicates putting letters inside.
'leader of' indicates taking the first letters.
'that's uncomfortable' becomes 'ouch' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'revolution' is 'r'.
'r'+'ouch'='rouch'
'go' enclosing 'rouch' is 'GROUCHO'.
