ABSTRACT
The logic of the social movement of our epoch is becoming more and more apparent. The essence of it is in the material and spiritual self-discrediting of the exploitative society. When the mighty revolutionary wave had subsided, Lenin understood earlier than the others the whole complexity of the movement toward those aims which the October Revolution, as it seemed to many, had brought so much closer. The fact that real socialism, as far as its technological development is concerned, is lagging behind capitalism, also impeded the passage to a new level of understanding of the revolutionary and evolutionary processes. The prerequisites for overcoming this lagging behind are taking shape during the course of the revolutionary restructuring of socialist society, of its transition to a qualitatively new condition. Like much else in today's world, the communist movement needs renewal and qualitative changes.
