He pointed out the need of a constructive thinking and wider discourse and dialogues about the Marxism to come up with a new analysis. Also speaking on the occasion, Sanghiya Samajbadi Party’s Chair Dr Baburam Bhattarai said the world was almost convinced that the socialism was an alternative to capitalism, but discussions were going to find an appropriate model of socialism.
As he said, the existing model of socialism has been a failed practice along with capitalism and broader discussions are needed to explore new forms of socialism.
