Wondering if this was a typo. Did you mean to say 'the transition from
communism to capitalism....' or is this a riff on that old tune of how
development of productive forces brings you to socialism?

Dogan:
Michael, in case of China I am tempted to see in those backwards steps 
in China also forward steps. I agreew ith you if you say that this 
process id full of contradictions. But I think we cannot ignore the fact 
that the development of productive forces are a very important element 
in the development of socialism. Bear in mind what Marx says in Capital: 
socialism cannot be established in a society of scarcity. Of course the 
establishment of a socialist society requires more than just the 
development of productive forces.
My reply meant to refer to particularity of each country with its each 
particular way of developing to socialist society.
