Eren: "Gareth Stedman Jones:": Gareth Stedman Jones: Marx was far more successful in evoking the power of capitalism than in demonstrating in any conclusive fashion why it had to come to an end. It was eloquence rather than science which established the association between the end of capitalism and the destiny of the working class. His conviction of a future society based upon a higher notion of freedom amounted to no more than a few cryptic utterances, unsubstantiated either by evidence or logic. Finally, despite the claims of his followers, he never succeeded in establishing a coherent theory of the connections between property relations and political forms. As a result, his refusal to accept that capitalism might be controlled by political reform and collective pressure was ultimately a dogmatic assertion.'
