Abstract

laws of development which made it inevitable that a country must move from feudalism to capitalism from capitalism to socialism, with each stage introduced by a revolutionary explosion at the point of maximum development and maximum tension generated by the contradictions inherent in its very maturation. In the Marxist scenario, capitalism builds the economic foundations necessary for socialism, but it cruelly denies the benefits to the people because it can achieve that economic development only by exploiting the labor of the people. The bourgeois democratic revolution, which ushers in capitalism, begins with promises of freedom but then, inevitably, puts all power in the hands of a smaller and smaller ruling class. The people must, therefore, rise up, smash the capitalist regime, and take all political and economic power under socialism. With exploitation and oppression no longer necessary, the state will wither away, and full freedom and abundance will come with the final stage which came to be called communism.
