The Communist Party of Pridnestrovye and the PALU of the Democratic Republic of Congo recently joined the Pyongyang Declaration “Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism”. Signing the declaration on behalf of the party, Oleg Hordjan, chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Pridnestrovye, said that the Pyongyang Declaration serves as the banner of victory for the socialist cause, adding he was delighted that his party joined the trend of the times.
As he put it, it has now become the irresistible trend of the times to support the declaration and advance socialism under its banner.
The declaration was released on April 20 1992.
At the time, the socialist cause faced trying ordeals worldwide due to the successive collapse of socialism in some East European countries. Imperialists and renegades of socialism argued that socialism came to an end.
At this juncture, a declaration clarifying the scientific accuracy and truthfulness of socialism was adopted in Pyongyang.
The declaration elucidated the cause of frustration of socialism in some European countries and demonstrated the essential advantage of socialism over capitalism.
It said that socialism, in essence, is a society, in which the masses of the people are the masters of everything and everything serves them, and only socialism can eliminate all manner of domination, subordination and social inequalities and provide the people with substantial freedom, equality, genuine democracy and human rights. Ascribing the unsuccessful socialist construction in some countries to the fact that they failed to establish the social structure in keeping with the fundamental demand of the people and to build socialism as required by the scientific socialist theory, it stated that the guarantee for ensuring the advance of socialism lies in putting forward the people as the genuine masters of society.
The declaration called on the parties aspiring after socialism to draw up lines and policies to meet the actual conditions of each country and the demand of locals, carry them out by relying on the people and uphold the banner of socialism without abandoning revolutionary principles at all time and in any circumstances. It noted that all parties should bolster up comradely cohesion and cooperation and bonds of solidarity on the principle of independence and equality.
It evoked positive response among the world’s people aspiring after independence as soon as it was made public, and 70 foreign party leaders and representatives signed the declaration at the time of its publication.
Based on the declaration, many parties updated their programmes and main documents as a whole, adopted political resolutions and added the declaration as the official documents of their congresses.
Annual international meetings of communist and workers’ parties appreciate its vitality and force of traction and discuss the problems for developing the socialist movement under its banner.
Amid the growing admiration for the declaration on an international scale, over 300 parties have so far signed the declaration.
