In any case, he explains how just like the feudalist system destroyed itself and was therefore replaced by capitalism, so will capitalism, and then it will go through a socialist phase before it continues further. We're at a point where people are realizing the flaws (and evils) of capitalism, the question is, is it enough for a revolution, or are we gonna suffer a little more? Maybe it won't even be a revolution, maybe a sneaky president will smoothly transfer us there..who knows! All I know is a system like capitalism cannot last without regulation of the free market, otherwise, we'll face inflation and recessions.
