Lukashenko: The world is increasingly starting to talk about socialism

The world is increasingly starting to talk about socialism, and Belarus has never abandoned it. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at the opening ceremony of an international standard swimming pool in Minsk, BELTA reports.

The head of state noted that the Belarusian and Chinese peoples are united by a respectful attitude to the history of the socialist movement. "Today, more and more people are starting to talk about socialism," he noted. Although, according to the President, back in the mid-90s, "all these definitions were simply trampled underfoot."

"True, in America today this is a swear word even from the lips of the victorious Trump, the President who accused Kamala Harris of being a "socialist" and a "communist." He is an ardent capitalist, Trump. Naturally, a billionaire," Alexander Lukashenko said.

The Belarusian leader emphasized that he sees nothing wrong with socialism. "But at one time they wiped their feet on this. We did not go this way. And what do we see? All of Europe is oriented towards socialism, perhaps not calling it that, but talking about social justice. We immediately said that we are building a socially oriented state. This is the main principle of socialism, and our Chinese friends have never abandoned this."
