The innovation of socialist realism

In recent years, some literary theorists in the West have begun to suggest that we should abandon the method of socialist realism because it has already exhausted its possibilities. They have created their own theories and schemes for socialist realism, which, of course, have easily been exhausted because these theorists ignore the history of the emergence and development of socialist realism. Art in slave society has been created over millennia, in bourgeois society over centuries, and in proletarian society over barely a century. Indeed, the pace of the construction of socialism is unheard of in comparison with the construction of other societies. But socialism is constantly under pressure from capitalism, and we are still forced to wage a fierce class struggle in the international arena. This, of course, cannot but affect the pace of the development of the new, socialist art.
