Reply to CB below: First of all, it makes the transformation of capitalist society into socialist society look like the transformation of a kitten into a cat, when in reality it is much more like the transformation of a rat into a cat's dinner. We cannot look at capitalism and say "there, but for accidents, goes a future socialism"." ['Aristotelian Marx', in Inquiry no.29, p465]
^^^^^^ Capitalism to communism is more like transformation of a cat into a kitten. Are you sure about that Charles? I thought Althusser's work had put an end to that sort of historical teleology. And I don't think there is much warrant in Hegel or Marx for your conclusion. What is it based on?
