Zusammenfassung:Marx expected the socialist revolution to take place in a highly industrialized society. In his theory the creation of the industrial society was the "historical task" of Capitalism. The "historical task" of Socialism was the equitable distribution of the fruits of industrialization. This sequence was inherent in his dialectical and historical materialism. For this reason, argues that it would be rash to pass judgement on Socialism in the light of the Russian experience. The Russian experience may well have been a "special case".
