            Abstract

            This article argues that the socialist experiences are too isolated from the world, and the exposed experiences of excessive form are counter-productive in the development of socialism. The globalization and marketization which follow the neoliberal logic are making accelerated changes. The socialist practice under the new background of globalization and marketization requires réévaluation of the socialist idea. Only in this way will socialist development not deteriorate in equity and social justice. In this article, the point of the debate is the role and limits of globalization and marketization in socialist construction, which is recognized as unfinished in the polemic of Socialist Sciences, and brings up questions about determining the nature of socialism.
