So, just a question on the idea that certain economies accumulate more capital and develop faster than others:
Because that's the case, isn't there a problem in regards to a global socialist revolution? Not every country will have the material conditions for said revolution, let alone the two transitional periods (DOTP and "socialism").
For example, let's contrast Germany with much of Eastern Europe. Suppose that certain conditions have led to socialist revolutions in Western Europe and in other developed and near-developed countries worldwide. Now, what of Eastern Europe, which wouldn't be ready for the transitional periods with the high number of agricultural workers relative to the overall workforce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Poland#Agriculture) (link on Poland)?
On the economic front, are revolutionary-democratic tasks still viable for those countries even while bordering countries that have undergone proper socialist revolutions? What will the economic relationship between the DOTPs and the revolutionary-democratic states be like?
On the political front, can the new DOTPs "peacefully coexist" with the revolutionary-democratic states (to borrow Khrushchev's phraseology)?
