(一) 社会主义代替资本主义是现代世界历史发展的大趋势。这是我们共产党人观察当代社会主义问题的一个基本观点。社会主义制度在本世纪内产生并在欧、亚、拉美地区的发展,开辟了人类历史的新纪元,决定了现代世界历史的走向。社会主义的七十多年,是充满活力和蓬勃生机的七十多年。虽然社会主义在发展过程中出现过这样那样的失误,甚至有过严重的失误,但社会主义取得的光辉成就是任何人都抹杀不了的。 (1) The replacement of capitalism by socialism is a general trend of historical development in the modern world. This is a basic point of view that our Communists observe the issue of contemporary socialism. The development of the socialist system in this century and its development in Europe, Asia and Latin America has opened up a new era in human history and determined the course of the history of the modern world. Seventy years of socialism have been full of vigor and vitality for more than seventy years. Although such mistakes and even serious mistakes have taken place in the course of development of socialism, the brilliant achievements made by socialism can not be denied by anyone.
