Whether or not there was a "communist conspiracy" to overthrow capitalism, there was certainly an organized capitalist conspiracy to overthrow socialism-communism. Representatives of the chief capitalist empires made repeated attempts to subsidize anti-Bolshevik forces in the Soviet Union.
During the process, the political life of Europe-in-transition will be administered by the political institutions of the bourgeois state, together with the closely related state patterns of socialism-communism which have come into being during the present century. During this transition the bourgeois state itself has evolved.
The sweep of world revolution and the growth of socialism-communism after 1945 called into being an opposing force of counter-revolution.
Marxian socialism-communism, organized and developed largely since 1848, has grown up as a rebellion against monopoly capitalism. At it matured, after revolutions in Mexico, China, Tsarist Russia and East Europe, it became an alternative and even a competitive life style. Marxism has been, at least in theory, cooperative rather than competitive.
The movement of a technologically oriented community from monopoly capitalism into socialism-communism is without historical precedent and therefore largely experimental. Plans are tentative; there are shortages of materials and particularly of skills based on experience. Costly mistakes are made leading to delay until they can be corrected.
Both countries are unquestionably stabilized economically and viable politically. Both are headed away from capitalist imperialism. Both are moving toward Marxian forms of socialism-communism. The wars in South East Asia after the expulsion of the French in 1954 were organized, financed and armed primarily by the Washington government.
Washington's drive to cripple and stamp out socialism-communism was accepted and followed particularly by the states with fascist leanings.
On the contrary, since 1950 the planet has been divided along class lines capitalism versus socialism. Socialism-communism is one of the most obvious facts of present-day planetary life. Capitalism is losing ground, especially in Europe. Socialism is gaining ground, especially in Eurasia.
Fragments of the industrial proletariat and the greatly enlarged middle class came together in an avowedly revolutionary movement: socialism-communism, which reached the power summit between 1910 and 1917. The bourgeoisie countered with a cold war aimed to exterminate socialism-communism, using propaganda, petty reform and armed intervention as its chief agencies.
This policy has been justified by the Truman-Johnson-Nixon Doctrine of determined opposition to the extension of socialism-communism and the consequent perpetuation of the cold war. In theory the socialist world is unitary.
