Essential Insignificance

It is possible for the "laws" of historical development to "bend".
The materialist conception of history is an incorrigible integral moiety of Marx's analyses of the structure of society and the periodisation of successive epochs, that is to say, in a dialectical process, of the means of sufficing the subsistence that man requires to continue in existence as himself, and from this develops the means of production of appeasing these daily prerequisites.
Marx bestowed on to "science", if you like, an empirical knowledge and erudition of social relations, the course of historical development, and the existing social relations of an given society…most characteristic of imparity.
Each epoch with a definite, lewd, realm of relations each congruous from one another- mass indisputable exploitation…with the exception of "primitive communism", where there was "only" a "natural" division of labour.
The 20th century Leninist and the akin, hypothesised and even went further to put it into practice that the "laws of historical development" could "bent" if they were fervently "arduous" and focused of the "cause" , regardless of the material conditions, and by thus, the material reality of the given populace…and by so, in the predestined process, creating an abominable "state" despotism.
And as we have attested "socialised" USSR, China, East Europe, Vietnam and Cuba…, have or are emanating in the direction of an open ''free'' market, namely, capitalism.
So it must be proclaimed obviously that Marx’s laws of emphatic successive continuity, of epochs has been axiomatic, idest, the transition from feudalism to capitalism has been proven to, as idem, pre-eminently astute.
But is it possible to "skip" the slavery and "folly of feudalism" and proceed, historically from the dissolution of primitive society to the manifestation of capitalism, or in the least, accelerate profusely, the fermentative processes. I have credence that Australia, New Zealand etc, are pivotal examples…although "poor" ones…I recognize.
With that luminous now, is it fortuitous, that a particular nation can advance perceptibly from primitivism and fettler capitalism and by thus omit slavery and "the folly feudalism". Or must there be an extended epoch of the two.
