Twenty First Century Socialism:
A Framework for Scientific Analysis


No longer a utopian dream, socialism has been in existence for a century, yet there have been few attempts to understand socialism in a scientific manner. In this talk, ICSS member Eugene E Ruyle, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Cal State Long Beach, will use the scientific socialism of Marx, Engels, and Lenin as a framework for understanding the first hundred years of socialism and what this means for the global future of humanity.
NOTE: While I support the Bolivarian Revolution of Hugo Chavez and other Latin American Leaders, this program will NOT focus particularly on the ‘Socialism for the 21st Century” as espoused by various left intellectuals. Instead, it will follow our earlier program on Twentieth Century Socialism and look at the global situation of socialism in the Twenty First Century, focusing primarily on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. Consideration of Bernie-Style Socialism in the United States will be postponed until late Spring or Summer.
