The first of tomorrow?

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

Do you believe the emerging socialism in South America will be the first socialism of a worldwide socialist order?
If so, what will be different this time around, as opposed to the socialism that failed to emerge after the Russian and failed German revolutions?
If not, why are you skeptical?

It can be anywhere, at this time, I can't tell of a particular country who would emerge as a socialist country. The difference would be that they should have learned from the experiences of the past socialist countries established, especially the USSR and PROC, as we all must be.

I agree with red_che but probably not in the way that he likes. The lessons that must be learned from those perversions that were the USSR and PRC are the dangers of overwhelming Party bureaucracy.

The revolution will no doubt begin in those underdeveloped nations where capitalism is not as entrenched and the exploitation of the workers is greatest. That dirty word "Vanguardism" is a necessity in these nations but one that can rot the revolution from the inside without the appropriate countermeasures.
