Features: The author breaks through conventional thinking patterns and distinctly proposes the new categories of "Ideal Socialism" and "Practical Socialism." Based on an analysis of their relationship, he conducts insightful research on a series of focal issues in the development of contemporary practical socialism. Not only does he reflect on the duality of the fate of practical socialism, but he also provides an in-depth analysis of the development process and trends of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The author also specifically examines the issue of the spiritual realm of the subject in practical socialism, arguing that the lack of a spirit of self-criticism is one of the most painful lessons of practical socialism. The future hope of practical socialism lies in self-criticism. These explorations by the author offer a new perspective for the study of socialist theory. As a personal viewpoint, it deserves attention and further in-depth discussion.
