Kathmandu, Nov 23: The world has high chance of witnessing rise in socialism, said Bam Dev Gautam, a senior leader of Nepal Communist Party (NCP).
Commenting on the working paper presented by Dr. Khagendra Prasai, On World Order and China: Prospect of Socialism in Nepal, here on Saturday, leader Gautam said the highest point of a vibrant socialism model was to cultivate socialism and communism in the world.
He stressed that the NCP should be accountable for developing socialism in the country because the party had received people’s mandate for the establishment of socialism.
He claimed that the party had adopted capitalism in the name of building a people’s multi-party democracy system, Gautam claimed.
“But I oppose this notion. I don’t agree with the report and the party’s statute. I have prepared my own party statute, which will guide what modality the party should adopt. I am ready to hold debate on this,” he added.
Gautam said, “In five years Nepal can develop fundamental socialism model and again in the next five years, we can achieve the present status of China. Similarly, in the next 20 years Nepal will walk ahead in the path of prosperity.”
Gautam said every inch of land was owned by Nepali people and the government had to buy these land by paying plenty of amount.
“Otherwise, social ownership cannot be established. This is the largest capital we have, so this capital has to be mobilised,” he added.
There is no alternative of the government buying the land from its citizens and adopting the land consolidation model, he added.
Indicating the Belt and Road Initiative, leader Gautam said the China had proposed this project to save the socialism model, which China had effectively developed, despite the widespread global criticism and attack.
“This is a unique project. The global community who favours their country’s independence must support this project,” he added.
Presenting his working paper, Dr. Khagendra Prasai, a prolific and popular communist thinker and writed, said that the China was adopting capitalism theory gradually because of unequal distribution of property.
Some of those who have ruled China are bourgeoisies who own most of the society’s wealth and means of production, he added.
He further added that Nepali socialism movement failed o figure out its direction and potentiality in the lack of a study of the characteristic of world set-up, direction, its crisis, role of China and its direction and the class which would develop in this process and their struggle.
