This essay examines the extent to which Marxist thought on the transition to socialism is relevant to the contemporary reality of Latin America.' It provides a general overview of the more important issues dealt with in the expanding Marxist literature on this subject, and it relates these issues to contemporary cases of socialist transition in Latin America and the Caribbean. At the beginning of this century, most Marxists assumed that the transition from capitalism to socialism would initially take place in the advanced capitalist societies of western Europe and North America and not in the underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. However, it is precisely in these underdeveloped areas that socialist revolutions have occurred throughout this century. This has forced contemporary Marxists to reevaluate the original body of thought on the transition to socialism and to develop a new theory and practice that takes into account the problems of constructing socialism in underdeveloped capitalist societies
