is not the end of history. Rather, it is the beginning of a new type of history consciously directed history. It is made possible and held stable by the elimination of 'mechanisms' such as exchange, commodity production, and the resulting involuntary division of labor which hitherto propelled it.

As I. Walliman notes: For Marx communism is not the end of history. Rather, it is the beginning of a new type of history consciously directed history. It is made possible by the elimination of 'mechanisms' such as exchange, commodity production, and the resulting involuntary division of labor which hitherto propelled it. As long as these mechanisms are absent, Marx sees no reason to believe that communism will be an unstable social condition despite the presence of some scarcity. (1981: 119)
