Carlos Martinez wrote a book about the collapse of the USSR called The End of the Beginning which honestly should be required reading for any socialist

    I looked into this book and he seems to stress "peaceful coexistence with the capitalist world." What exactly would that entail? I feel like it kind of goes back on class war and seems to assume that even if the socialist projects did seek peaceful coexistence, that the capitalist world would actually participate peacefully. I think it sort of ignores the context of class war that would result in the birth of these new socialist experiments in the first place.

    Am I making sense? I think this might be a bit rambly since I'm a bit sleep-deprived but I hope you get what I'm saying and can lend some context.
