4. Classes and the Class Struggle in the Transition
Period from Capitalism to Socialism
Period from Capitalism to Socialism
[introduction.]
We know that an implacable struggle has been going on between the exploited and the exploiters ever since the birth of private ownership of the means of production and antagonistic classes. This struggle ultimately leads to the socialist revolution, as a result of which the rule of the bourgeoisie is replaced by the government of the working people, the dictatorship of the proletariat. This ushers in the transition period from capitalism to socialism.
