Some 99 political delegations from 38 countries, including most of Latin America and much of the world, plus delegates from all over Mexico, participated for three days, April 4-6, filled with political talks, book presentations and chants of solidarity. The occasion was the 23rd Seminar, entitled “Parties and a New Society,” hosted by the Workers Party of Mexico in that country’s capital.
The Seminar agenda follows a standard pattern that includes reports from parties, in government and out, on how to mobilize the population to make the existing society function. It may even be a socialist society like Cuba’s. There were statements from representatives of China, Vietnam and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. There was also room for reports on ongoing struggles.
From the viewpoint of anti-imperialists organizing inside an imperialist country, the key points hit by the Seminar were the following:
