La publicación de la presente obra requiere alguna explicación. Muchos amigosme han preguntado por qué estaba dedicando tanto tiempo a responder a unhombre cuyos libros son leídos por un público limitado, mayormente en universidadesde América Latina, y que generalmente no están disponibles en inglés.He de contestar que fui persuadido por las constantes peticiones de mis amigosde Cuba y Venezuela, quienes, después de varios años, estaban ya hartos de laspretensiones teóricas de Heinz Dieterich y me urgían a que le respondiera.Hace ya algunos años que Heinz Dieterich viene afirmando en una ruidosacampaña que ha inventado el socialismo del siglo XXI. Esto ha encontradoalgún eco entre ciertos círculos de la izquierda en Venezuela y en algún otropaís. Como todos sabemos, en Venezuela está teniendo lugar un debate importantesobre la naturaleza del socialismo, inspirado por las declaraciones de HugoChávez a favor de éste.Esto es enormemente importante, no sólo para Venezuela, sino para elmovimiento obrero internacional en su conjunto. Después del hundimiento de laUnión Soviética, hay un fermento de discusión dentro de la izquierda a escalamundial. El ignominioso fracaso del estalinismo y la contraofensiva ideológicasin precedentes de la burguesía en contra del socialismo ha llevado a algunos ala conclusión de que las viejas ideas del marxismo (el socialismo científico) yano son válidas, y que es necesario inventar algo nuevo y original. Esto es justamentelo que Dieterich afirma haber logrado. 10
