> it decided to be a capitalist society

There are many different kinds of capitalism, some mostly good and some mostly bad, so just saying "it decided to be a capitalist society" lacks sufficient specificity. Also, capitalism is an economic system, so it's leaving out the "sort of society" part.

No, there isn't. There are merely different stages and the order they come in may vary ever so slightly as they affect one another. Over time, capital always accumulates, exploitation of the working class always tends to increase, and the rate of profit always tends to decrease.
