my murky understanding is that it has to do with base and superstructure; the material realities create changes in culture and social relations that then reproduce and influence the material conditions, like a feedback loop. from what I can grasp, the idea is that the "amplitude" of those changes would gradually reduce and the RPMs slow down as socialist policies eliminated material disparities and reshaped those social relations.
does that make any sense? I'm still learning this stuff
EDIT: I don't know if he ever specifically anticipated something like international capital reaction, does anyone else?
Yeah, and by developing industry, manufacturing, production etc they are changing the base/superstructure equation and thus the threshold for liberation/necessity of the state
