Features: The original socialist theory by Marx and Engels believed that Western developed countries would take the lead in achieving socialism. However, to date, only countries like China in the East, which are underdeveloped, have socialist practices. Within the range of everyone's vision, there are no signs of Western developed countries turning toward socialism. Based on this fundamental fact and the practical experience of China's reforms, this book reinterprets the basic theories of socialism using dialectical materialism. The author argues that after humanity enters the process of world history, economically and culturally backward countries choosing the socialist path to catch up with economically and culturally advanced capitalist countries, and thereby creating a social form that surpasses capitalism, has its historical inevitability.
