I Am An Optimist And I Believe

The Problem The World Faces Today Is That Only One-third Of The World's Population Lives In Decent Circumstances, While Half The Population Of The World Lives On One Or Two Dollars A Day. And Even As We Have This Poverty And Backwardness, We Are Facing A Global Environmental Crisis. We Need Developmental Models That Will Take Into Account The Specific And Unique Position Of Each Country And At The Same Time Will Address The Environmental Crisis.

Democracy Is The Wholesome And Pure Air Without Which A Socialist Public Organization Cannot Live A Full-blooded Life.

Please Remember One Lesson Of The 20th Century. One Cannot Force Happiness, Impose Happiness On Nations By Imposing Any Kind Of Utopia On Others. The Communist Model Of Society Was A Kind Of Imposed Utopia For Which The Russian People In Particular Paid A Great Price. Still, Sometimes We See That Attempts Are Being Made To Impose Some Other Kind Of Model On The Entire World - Maybe A Westernized Or Americanized Model... This Is Not The Way To Go Because This Can Only Create Conflict.

One Of The Reasons Why This Country Undertook Military Action In Iraq Was That There Are Quite A Few Problems Here, And Perhaps Attention Needed To Be Deflected From Those Problems. It Sometimes Seems That The U.s. Economy Works Successfully Only If It Gets A Stimulus From The Defense Industry. So Perhaps In Addition To Showing The Power And The Might Of The United States Internationally, Another Reason Was To Help The Defense Industry And To Help The U.s. Economy Recover.

Contemporary Social Democracy Is What I Believe Is The Right Concept.
