Why was it so hard for some of the Eastern Europe countries to change to capitalism and not the other countries?

The transfer from an economy dominated by central planning to an economy dominated more by market mechanisms was difficult for most of the Eastern Block countries. Generally speaking the closer the country was to the affluent West the better off the country did since foreign investment was an important component in the transformation. Poland allowed quite a bit of private ownership. The former Soviet Union had a particuarly difficult time because not only did it go through an economic transformation; the country also, quite literally, fell apart, so there was also a political transformation as well.

What was the significance of solidarity in Poland for the decline of soviet influence in eastern Europe?
The significance of Solidarity in Poland for the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe was that the Polish citizens' incooperation made it so that the USSR had to negotiate for its rule in the country,when before it had unconditional rule and therefore had no reason to change its policies. The union forced the Soviets to compromise and bend- which weakened its hold on first Poland and then the other countries in which it had a strong hand in the government.

Marx believed that it would be capitalism itself to bring about social crisis in advanced capitalist countries. He saw that capitalism was a system like feudalism before it, which would develop and change and mature over time, this process of maturing would bring about more and more economic crises as the inherent tendency of capitalism toward crisis intensified as capitalism became more monopolistic, as profits became harder and harder to procure and so on.
