The major distinction between socialist and capitalist roads
to development is that under capitalism (in all its Third
World forms, 1.e. imperialism, neo-colonialism and
colonialism) development is a technical-instrumental problem
of capital management and the creation of profit. While for
socialists, deve lopment is a problem of politico-—
conscientization: a problem of people. Thus, the main
distinction between socialist and capitalist development
strategies is whether one develops production for the benefit
of a wealthy few or whether one develops production for the
benefit of the population as a whole. While it is clear that
people cannot develop a decent human life without fairly
sophisticated levels of shared production, people do exist in
de-humanising conditions of squalid impoverishment under
capitalist and colonialist regimes of consumptive plenitude.
For socialists this is unacceptable on moral, political and
economic grounds.
