| The drastic change of Eastern Europe and Soviet Union is a major turning point in the history of the world socialist movement, Since then, the world socialist movement rushed into a low ebb, and began to adjust and explore in the times of hardship. After the drastic change of Eastern European and Soviet Union, some socialist countries collapsed in east Europe, also the communist party and left party in Western Europe had been influenced deeply, the power and the influence of the parties decreased sharply. With the continuous expansion of the European integration and globalization, dealing with capitalism and neo-liberalism needs to call together the majority of left-wing forces in Europe.In this background, communist party and left party in the parts of the European countries after long-term exchanges and efforts, found the European Left Party. Its foundation was the attempt to get out of the low tide of world socialist movement and try to explore the socialist road.Since its foundation, the European Left Party explores the new directions of socialist development, puts forward building "another Europe", a democratic, ecological, welfare, peaceful and feminist Europe. The European Left Party analyses the reason of the drastic change of Eastern European and Soviet Union, gets that the failure of Soviet is not the failure of socialism, it is because of the highly centralized authoritarian of Stalinism, realizes that we need to explore socialist road independently and must be achieve democracy fully; with the surrounding of capitalism,the European Left Party analyses the current situation and problems of the development of capitalism, criticizes the implementation of the new liberalism had brought profound economic and social crisis, accuses that globalization had serried unemployment, lived in poverty and so on, exposes the roots of the capitalism economic crisis— the fundamental contradiction of capitalism. The European Left Party concerned reform and development of real socialist countries, and proposed to draw on the useful experience of these countries. At last, the European Left party proposes a series of related specific policy about the future development of socialism in its congress and document. Since foundation, the European Left Party pursues its "another Europe" advocates actively, participates in the parliamentary elections and organizes the masses and the trade union movement to achieve their own interest demands.The European Left Party’s understanding of the Soviet model and the Soviet Union disintegration, while not comprehensive, but reasonable; the understanding of capitalism, critique of neo-liberalism, the analysis of the economic crisis is substantially correct. But, in order to attract voters, the European Left Party adjusting its platform and policy and desalinizing its ideology, showing pragmatism tendency obviously, thus caused identity blurred and had a bad influence to vote. |
