why do marxists think the only alternative to capitalism is socialism->communism

Being a Marxist implies you have read and follow Marx's writings. Marx outlines clearly how he believes a socialist revolution would take place. You wouldn't be a very good Marxist if you thought otherwise
because they're Marxists
it's an entire belief system lad
Because it's the system that ultimately resolves the contradictions of capitalism or something.
I've never actually read Marx, and the thought of doing so scares me a little bit.
