The economic and political power of the people will most likely be expressed in an elected anti-monopoly coalition government. It will be based on new laws that will restrain and restrict the capitalist class. In this initial stage, we will still have leftovers of capitalism. Socialism USA will extend democracy and basic human rights to their fullest, taking as its starting point the democratic traditions and institutions of the American people. When we reach the stage of greatly expanded democracy and an anti-monopoly government, it will be our first step on the path to full socialism.
Socialism is a developing, growing system.
Before we get into the basic laws of nature and society, we must first understand how Marxists approach the world, based on the materialist conception of history and historical materialism. Marx revealed the orderly working principles of change. He revealed the inner laws of motion of society and history, that these objective laws operate in social life as they operate in nature. Marx discovered, based on a study of history, that objective reality, the material world, is independent of man's idea of it and that ideas are a reflection of this material reality. Marx gave us the materialist conception of history, which simply means that the material world was a reality long before the human brain appeared on the scene to reflect that world.
