| Summary: | For those, like us, who believe in the possibility and need
of building a socialist society, it is imperative and urgent a critic of
the attempts of its instauration. In that task, two concepts had and still
have an enormous and negative importance. They are the concepts of
“real socialism” and “democratic socialism”. Those two concepts are
frequently used for those who intend to criticize the attempts of socialist
revolutions. The first, in the sense that socialism would be that that in
fact resulted of those attempts. The second, as correction of the suffered deformations in that process. We understood that, instead of helping in
the critic and in illuminating the road of an authentic socialist society,
those concepts are an obstacle that should be avoided since they deform
completely the starting point of the discussion. The demonstration of
that will be the goal of the present text. |
