INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Socialist movement not possible without understanding current world order
Kathmandu, November 23
Political analysts and researchers have
said that considering the current socio-economic conditions and many other factors, the country is very unlikely to achieve
socialism.
Various political science scholars expressed their views during an event organised by Foundation for Critical Discourse Nepal to
discuss a research paper titled ‘World Order and China: Prospect of Socialism in Nepal
The paper was prepared by Khagendra Prasai, a political researcher.
At the event, the scholars discussed how the country should move ahead
amidst the contemporary world order which is largely guided by ‘capitalism&, whereas neighbouring China is heading towards socialism.
The
research paper states that country socialist movement cannot determine its possibilities and direction until it understands the nature of
current world order, its challenges, role of China and its direction and the creation of class in society and its struggle during the
process.
Prasai, in his paper, states that the country has to be clear about China global development strategy ‘Belt and Road Initiative&
as it is still not clear how Chinese socialism will transform itself in the coming years
Speaking at the event, Bam Dev Gautam, Nepal Communist Party (NCP) vice-chair, said BRI was China unprecedented move and Nepal could get
huge support by being its member.
Former attorney general Yubaraj Sangraula said although the country leaders claimed that Nepal was a
democratic socialist country, it was unlikely the country would achieve socialism.
