ABSTRACT
The author says that one seems to keep forgetting that he wrote again and again whether it was in the Communist Manifesto or The Civil War in France-about the crucial era of transition between capitalism and post-capitalist society that people have been discussing. He always emphasized that the movements arising in the long great transition would focus on many social and political issues and could involve either violent or non-violent, evolutionary or revolutionary strategies. One can't solve environmental problems and by the way, he wrote extensively about the environment, as did his collaborator Engels-nor can one achieve peace without changing capitalism. He saw racism and oppression of women as part and parcel of capitalism, and they help personalize the brutal meaning of capitalist injustice to people. He was also making clear that he still rejected capitalism and embraced socialism, although he was willing to ally with groups he disagreed.
