- What is interesting is that if you read Marx, he thought that socialism was inevitible because capitalism already has a socialist (read highly centralized and planned) organization of economic production. Socialism was simply the next logical development of a centralized economy since individual, family and regional autonomy has already been practically eliminated.
To look at the problem through the lens of subsdiary shows in a different light the relative similarity of the socialist/communist and capitalist economic organization, and how disinct the both of these forms of economic organization are from what came before, systems which have now been largely forgotten.
