Socialism continues to grow in the world

22/11/17
The fifth international workshop on socialism, themed “Applying Marxism-Leninism Doctrine in socialism building”, took place in Vientiane, Laos on November 22, attracting over 100 delegates from Vietnam, China, Cuba and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
In his opening speech, President of the Lao National Institute for Social Sciences Soukkongseng Sayaleuth affirmed that socialism is a great achievement of Marxism-Leninism, adding that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution of Russia and the birth of the first socialist country.
Though the Soviet Union and socialist countries in Eastern Europe collapsed, other socialist nations are still consistent with socialist ideals and goals and have further prospered, proved by achievements in reform and socialism building in China, Vietnam and Laos, he said.
He urged socialist nations to strengthen solidarity amid complex developments in the world in order to continue reaping successes in socialism building.
Vice President of the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Pham Van Duc suggested developing and flexibly applying new concepts and basic principles of Marxism-Leninism in countries in each stage.
During the two-day event, delegates will attend four sessions on the role of Marxism-Leninism in building the people’s democratic States, Marxism-Leninism’s leadership role in developing political system and uniting solidarity, Marxism-Leninism theory in developing a socialist-oriented economy in each nation.
They will also hear 19 reports to be delivered by delegates from Vietnam, China and Laos.

We think of capitalism as being locked in an ideological battle with socialism, but we never really saw that capitalism might be defeated by its own child — technology.

we may need a hybrid model in the future which is paradoxically more capitalistic than our capitalism today and perhaps even more socialistic than our communism of yesteryear

Which is another way of saying that socialist principles might be the only thing that can save capitalism.

I realised that the party I’m working for is evil. After that I identified as a Democrat but I wasn’t really happy with their policies either.

Others embrace more traditional socialism of large-scale public ownership. But the label has been taken up by other millennials who do not identify with any particular political institution.

There's also the match between an economy mostly consisting of private goods and services that can be taxed to pay for the minority of public goods and services, where the market price of those public goods would be far below the collective value of those goods.

What you’re describing is a near-revolutionary shift in politics and culture, and that’s not something we can do on command.

I believe that once our top creative class is unshackled from those impediments which are socially negative, they will be able to choose whether capitalism proceeds by evolution or revolution, and I am hopeful that the enlightened self-interest of the billionaire class will cause them to take the enlightened path toward finding a rethinking of work that honors the vast majority of fellow citizens and humans on which their country depends.

We’ve known for a long time that political systems tend to collapse without a robust middle class acting as a buffer between the poor and the rich, and yet we’ve rushed headlong into this unsustainable climate.

I suppose that’s my point. If the people with the power to change things are sufficiently cocooned that they fail to realize the emergency while there’s still time to act, where does that leave us?
