The Realistic Characteristics,Opportunities,Challenges,and Advancement Path of the International Alliance of World Communist Parties under Great Changes Unseen in a Century
The international united front of communist parties is a significant thread running through the international communist movement.Under great changes unseen in a century,it exhibits characteristics of both consistency and divergence in its underlying concepts,diversification and fragmentation of organizational mechanisms,and complex interplay of cooperation and conflict in and the interactions of parties involved.The alliance faces opportunities such as the decline of capitalist power,the strengthening of socialist forces,and further advancement in network technologies.However,it also encounters challenges including the constraints of dogmatic thinking,deep-seated internal divisions that are difficult to reconcile,inefficient operational mechanisms for unity,and the pressures of capitalist suppression and the consequent internal division.To further strengthen international alliance,the communist parties around the world must grasp the trends of the times,and should work together to balance international unity with independent development,uphold the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences,improve mechanisms for solidarity and cooperation,and expand leftist united front so as to promote the transformation and reform of the international communist movement.
