The present essay was published in the Hindi journal ‘Dayitvabodh’
in its November-December 1993 issue under the Mao Tse-tung Birth
Centennary Series but it was written in 1990. It was first presented as the
base paper at the five-day All-India seminar at Gorakhpur organised by
the Long-live Marxism Forum (6-10 June, 1990). The topic of the seminar
was “Problems of Socialism, Capitalist Restoration and the Great
Proletarian Cultural Revolution.”
The essay presents a class-analysis of the events in the erstwhile
Soviet Union and East European countries at that time (1990) and
underlines the epochal contributions of Mao Tes-tung while thoroughly
analysing the causes of capitalist restoration and the problems of
socialism. The author wrote a supplement to clarify his position and
include some new points after the discussions during the five-day
seminar, and it has also been included in this booklet.
We are publishing two other booklets in the Dayitvabodh reprint
series with this booklet, they are: ‘Immortal are the Flames of Proletarian
Struggles’ and ‘Why Maoism?’
It was reprinted as a booklet in Hindi in 1996 and several editions
have been brought out since then. We have felt the need for an English
edition since a long time but it has taken a long time to come out. We believe
that this will be important and thought-provoking material for proletarian
revolutionaries and left intellectuals as well as all those who have an
interest in reading about the development of Marxist science.
