DESCRIPTION:North Korea and the Global Struggle for Socialism\n\nWhen Che Guevara 
 visited North Korea in the 1960s, he considered it to be an inspiration for 
 Cuba and revolutionaries everywhere. Since the overthrow of the Soviet 
 Union, North Korea has experienced not only the death of Kim Il Sung, but a 
 series of natural disasters which left it impoverished and struggling to 
 feed its people. Critics label it an Orwellian-Stalinist-Oriental 
 nightmare. Do we dare call it socialist? The answer to this question 
 reveals much about how we view socialism and the struggle to build a 
 communist future for humanity. Open discussion will follow a presentation 
 by Gene Ruyle, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and Asian Studies, CSU, 
 Long Beach. For background, see Ruyle’s paper of the same title 
 at\nhttp://www.csulb.edu/~eruyle/Korea-socialism-LATEST.pdf\n\nSunday, May
