I'd say you are, according to Marx and Engels, this inevitable 'development' was to happen in form of a revolution let by the communist avantgarde, and lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat (they called this interim stage 'socialism'). - that's also in a nutshell.
It should be clear now, that this is different from both Chomsky and Moore. As I mentioned, there are numerous other, non-Marxist brands of Socialism, ranging from the co-operative movement which originated in Britain in the 19th century, to the modern regulated capitalist welfare state which has been popular in Europe.
Chomsky is more of a radical, "Libertarian Socialist" is an apt term for what he stands for - it's closer to anarchism than Marxism.
Moore I don't really know what to call him, I haven't taken enough interest, he's overrated IMO.
I hope this has shed some light, however off-topic for this thread.
