@augustus @laura4 Yes, as he said in another text, paraphrasing, capitalism is self destructive, for the things it needs to do to thrive will inevitably bring its own end, though at the end of his life he was starting to stop believing that

As it was better put by Lenin: "The capitalists will sell us the rope we'll hang them with", which also is a great example of why communists support liberalism when still inside capitalism

Besides, because of the theory of Historical Dialectics, he also sees capitalist liberalism as better than slavery capitalism, and that as better than feudalism, and communism as a next step beyond capitalism in all its forms
