progreso-weekly.com - Toward a ‘citizen's revolution’: President Correa's 21st-Century socialism

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE AMERICAS
On Sept. 30, elections were held in Ecuador. The Alianza País organization won more than 70 percent of the votes. The runner-up received barely 7 percent. The foundations for the construction of a new Constitution, according to the Alianza, will be "21st-Century socialism," a type of socialism that "is not the socialism that had rooted its responses in manuals. We don't start from dogmatic visions. If we write a manual, it will be for the purpose of changing its pages every time we need to. It will be corrected constantly, because we do not believe in a definitive truth. Our task will be a permanent construction of democracy. That's how 21st-Century socialism must be constructed."
