Is manifest destiny compared to predestination imperialism merchantilism capitalism?
Manifest has two main components as explained by Alexi De Toccaville in "Democracy in America - 1835"
1) That the United States would eventually extend to the Pacific was inevitable due to the fact that the US was the most powerful player in North America.
2) The God had ordained that Christianity would dominate the American continent. The religious pilgrims from Europe viewed their success in America as prof that a divine power sanctioned their expansion into America.
Predestination is a religious doctrine that holds that certain individuals are to be granted admittance into heaven while all others are doomed to hell. Often it is explained that since God has infinite knowledge and makes each person he knows from the moment of your creation whether you will be saved or not.
Imperialism does not simply mean the expansion of a nation's borders. It means the exploitation of a the economic resources of a foreign nation and perhaps political control over it fro that purpose, usually through the excessive of military might. It would be more appropriate to say that Native America was conquered as opposed to being a victim of imperialism.
Mechantilism may refer to a political preferance for established busniesses.

How does capitalism meet broad social and economic goals such as freedom?
The 6 goals and how they are met by capitalism (compared to socialism and communism) are: Freedom--freedom in the market place. The government does not control prices or who can sell or buy. There are no barriers to entry into the market set up by the government. Of the three major systems, capitalism is usually best in this category. Growth--capitalism has the highest incentives of economic systems, because how hard you work is directly tied to how much you make. Therefore people work hard and production growth is high. Of the three major systems, capitalism is usually best in this category. Equality--This is where Capitalism is weak. In pure capitalism no one is protecting the economic rights of the poor. Opportunities in the market place are only available to those who can afford them. Stability--Prices are decided by the the balance between supply and demand. Therefore, there is little price stability compared with other economic systems because prices quickly change with every fad and shortage of resources. Capitalism is weak in this area. Security--Unemployment is usually higher in capitalism because jobs are not provided by the government (as in communism) and the government doesn't provide public services and money to help people find a job (as in socialism). Efficiency--just as in growth, capitalism has the highest incentives of economic systems, so people work hard. Businesses want to increase production in order to increase profit and therefore focus on efficiency. Also, by having the consumers and producers free to decide what to supply and consume, production must constantly change to match demand. Capitalism allows producers to easily change production levels and prices, causing more efficiency. Of the three major systems, capitalism is usually best in this category. In conclusion Capitalism is best at freedom, efficiency, and growth but is worst in stability, security, and equality.

How the economic freedoms of capitalism lead to improved societal conditions when compared with conditions of socialistic countries.?
Economic freedoms in capitalism allow individuals to own property, make choices, and engage in trade, leading to innovation, competition, and economic growth. This fosters wealth creation, job opportunities, and a higher standard of living. In contrast, socialist countries often have centralized control over the economy, leading to inefficiencies, lack of incentives, and lower overall prosperity.

Why did Karl Marx not think that Russia was ready for a communist revolution?
Because he did not see Russian Capitalism as sufficiently mature compared to the European Capitalism. It was not until 1861 that Russia abolished serfdom, which formalized its move from Feudalism to Capitalism. Marx, who first published Das Kapital in 1867, saw Russian politico-economic system as a hybrid between Feudalism and Capitalism. He believed in a natural progression of political systems from Feudalism to Capitalism to Communism, with Capitalism being more progressive that Feudalism, and Communism more progressive than Capitalism. Each system, according to Marx, was intended to resolve the conflicts of the previous system, mature, run its course, create its own conflicts, which, when they came to a breaking point, would result in the next system change. He saw the class conflicts in Germany and England as more pronounced and promising than those in Russia. If the proletariat (working class) was the engine of the next revolution, he figured, how could the Russian nascent proletariat be ready for it? Of course, Russian revolution was anything but Marxist.
