    1. What I remember from Marx and/or Engels is that a sharpening of capitalism’s internal contradictions are necessary but not sufficient. Revolution is still needed. We can’t expect some automatic transition from capitalism to socialism.
    2. Marx wasn’t a prophet. The first successful communist revolution happened in Russia under feudalism, not capitalism.
