The process of production reaches such a high level of collectivization in the capitalist society, that further development of the productive forces becomes more and more incompatible with the narrow limits of the private property and stipulated by the latter the anarchy of production. Production collectivization develops rapidly during imperialistic era of capitalism. High production concentration , growing of the monopolistic capitalism into state - monopolistic require centralized stock -taking of the sources of the raw materials and commodity markets, assignment of the labour force, introduction of the planned economy. But, the stock -taking and the regularity serve to the selfish ends of the capitalists. As a result , anarchy of production becomes the ruling factor of the society. Economy, as a whole, develops spontaneously and unrhythmically. Crisis frustrations, long lasting depressions are the evidence of the fact that capitalism has come to obsolete and retard the further development of the productive forces. Socialism , as Lenin have figuratively said, is looking at us through all of the windows of the modern capitalism now.
"...State-monopolistic capitalism - Lenin wrote,- is the full material preparation for the socialism, is it's threshold, is the step of the historical stair, between which ( the step) and the step, which is called socialism, THERE ARE NOT ANY INTERMEDIATE STEPS."
Capitalism gives social character to the production and to the labour itself by gathering big masses of workers on the plants and factories, but the labour results are appropriated by the bourgeois class. As a result , the main contradiction of the capitalism appears- between social character of the production and the private monopolistic form of appropriation,-which is the deep source of the intensification of the class struggle.
The contradiction of the capitalism reach the biggest tensity during monopoly stage of it's development. This is the contradiction between productive forces and the relations of the production, which becomes apparent in crisises and recessions of the production, chronical unemployment, the grow of the cost of living and other disasters. These are contradictions between labour and capital, between oligopolies and the nation's majority and other contradictions.
Capitalism always renders conflicts and contradictions on the broadened base. The productive forces'development continues without any stop, during imperialism. But the pressure of the internal contradictions on the productive and social-political relationships of the capitalist society grows.
Thus, socialist revolution becomes insistently necessary.

When Marx, Engels and Lenin were creating their theories they overlooked the fact that governments would not, necessarily, allow capitalism to deteriorate into class warfare and fascism, presuming they could see these coming.

Thus, the most industrialized countries like Britain and the US learned enough and were concerned enough about socialism's impact and fascism's impact that they enacted labor, tax and property laws to keep their states more towards the middle, with an emphasis on democracy and free trade.

Japan and Germany missed the boat and disintegrated, obviously doing a lot of damage in the process.

I beleive that as the world turns....developed counties will continue to make adjustments, using tax and trade policies, to remain fairly centrist, open, democratic and to keep the gap between rich and poor relatively small.

Other nations run by men without the good will to care for the people and the nation more than their own sorry asses, will allow fascism and poverty to grow.

The efforts of the capitalists to keep wokers out of the struggle will never be successful. Class struggle will exist, until the antagonistic classes would be destroyed. This means that workers have to destroy the ruling class of their exploiters.
The gap between rich and poor is not small even in the most developed modern countries. THIS GAP IS HUGE. Compare the poor man who can barely survive , and the man who makes millions per day.....Here is your "relatively small gap".
