Features: This book takes the fundamental contradiction of capitalism proposed by Marx as its guiding principle and starting point, grasps the dialectical relationship between the "two inevitabilities" and the "two unalterables," and focuses on elaborating the dual nature of the fundamental contradiction of capitalism. It reveals from various perspectives the internal driving forces and development trends of capitalism's self-regulation and transformation, explaining that the more capitalism develops, the closer it approaches socialism, and that "the enemies of revolution" may become "the inheritors of the will." The main lesson of socialism is that using "conventional" theories and methods—Marx's proposed vision for future societies for developed countries—to solve emerging "exceptional" special problems, elevating this approach to a universal law and model, and adhering to it unchanged for decades. Exploring "exceptional" methods to solve "exceptional" problems is the fundamental way for socialism to break free from its predicament.
