Summary: "The irreconcilable, unbridgeable antagonism in principle between capitalism, based on private ownership of the menas of production and the exploitation of the workers, and socialism, based on common property and excluding exploitation, leads to a general struggle between the two systems embracing the whole world... The contradiction between productive forces and productive relations becomes more acute. Capital is no longer in a position either to utilise the productive forces it has created or to give the proletariat opportunity for work." -- From the introduction.
