Not in the bit a quoted, and not in general either. Marx argues that capitalism must become socialism, as a synthesis of "but muh risk and innovashun!" and "how come I do all the work and you get all the rewards?" and that feudalism had to become capitalism. Marx might have turned Hegel on his head, but he kept the gist of history being the world figuring itself out and inching towards perfection.
