The Soviet Collapse and the violent changes in Eastern Europe aroused the world's great reflection; Meanwhile, a more powerful voice spread far and wide all over the world——globalization. Thus, Marx and Engels'theory of"World History"quiet for almost a century has been waken up. Through combing Marx and Engels'theory of"World History", it can be discovered that the theory is the very product of the world's first globalization, reflects the globalization theoretically and shares interior uniform relevance with the Communism. About the realization of Communism, in the early period Marx and Engels thought that only through the violent bloody revolution agaist the violence of anti-revolution was it able to achieve the success of revolution. Later under the premise condition of violent revolution, they advocated that if possible, certain countries with favorable conditions were advised to enter the socialism via peaceful means. Marx and Engels thus achieved the dialactical unity concerning the way of the realization of Communism. Different from Browngeest's secret planning, assassination and insurrection, Marx and Engels'violent revolutionary theory was built on the firm basis of Historical Materialism and the theory of Surplus Value. However, the infromation technology-supported globalization greatly transcended over the"World History"picture described by Marx and Engels. On the one hand, modern globalization causes leaping development of the world's economy. On the other hand, it has greatly changed the industrial as well as the labor structure. Further more, the communication modes, ideological concepts of human beings, the Historical Materialism and the theory of Surplus Value of Marx and Engels are all reinterpreted. The belief of Marxism and the theory of"Two Inevitabilities"encountered unprecedented challenges. Nevertheless, the Capitalism posses more characters of"Socialism"in its self– adjustment in recent half century. The relatiohships between the world's economy, politics and cultural consciousness caused by globalization become closer. The international govermental organizations and increasingly powerful China play important roles in keeping the world's peace. Therefore, it is clearer that future Communism will be realized via peaceful means. But, the global crisis accompanying with globalization proves that future violent revolution or war isn't eliminated at all. On the contrary, it makes human beings confront with destructive threats. In the future, any global, even regional war or revolution may lead the world far away from the picture of Communism concepted by Marx and Engels. Yet, crisis can be positive too from the dialectical point of view, which allows the world to cooperate more closely in dealing with global crisis.
