Ecological destruction won’t happen to any great degree because of war, which means more resources, which means the war ends.War or ecological destruction I would guess.Only if robots kill us off.In all likelihood humans don't survive the epoch of capitalist production.The state will not wither away until civilization crashes.You know, Tehon, you pretty much have everything in place to have your socialist form of government. Economicaly speaking, anyway.
The question, really, and Marx never had the answer, he never even offered an answer, so far as I've read, and I've read him rather thoroughly, is how you actually do the flip from one to the other.
What I mean is that Marx never really explained how the state would ''wither away'' after the ''dictatorship of the proletaria'' began. Really, he did nothing to stop Lenin from popping off about rationing liberty. Lenin's decree on liberty was rather clear. What he said was that liberty must be carefully rationed. Right?
It is an infinitely repeating cycle that we have only postponed very temporarily.
