Dialectical assumptions about socialism and projectment' in today’s China

Abstract

With the country’s growing influence over the world has made understanding China the order of the day. This article intends to confront this investigation in order to overcome the common understanding that frames the Chinese experience in fixed analytical categories, seeking to configure a new rational determination in which “the concept manifests itself in real movement”. Because it is an experience that unfolds in the context of the anti-imperialist struggle, we admit that Chinese socialism develops based on Marxism as a science of political power in opposition to the postulates of the so-called “Western Marxism”. We argue that, without a new cognitive grammar that allows thinking and knowing the flow of the totality of opposites of historical being, social science will make little progress in the production of theories, concepts and categories that correspond to an in-depth vision of this unique phenomenon in history. We conclude our examination of the Chinese experience from two fundamental categories: socialism and design.
