KHARTOUM, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Marxism remains an inspiring model in Sudan and the bicentennial birth anniversary of Karl Marx injects more enthusiasm to the principles of the Marxist theory, Sudanese expert and official have said.

Marxism originated from the works of 1800s German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. May 5, 2018 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Marx.

"Marxism has proved its ability to be an inspiring model as it is the case in China," said Fath Al-Alaim Saleh, a researcher in the socialist experiences in Sudan.

"The ruling party in China has managed to integrate the basic principles of Marxism into the contemporary reality of China and made use of the experiences of other civilizations to develop Marxism," he noted.

The Chinese model undoubtedly proves that Marxism stands on a solid scientific and practical base and is able to survive with all its powers despite all changes and developments, he added.

Kamal Karrar, a leading figure in the Sudanese Communist Party, told Xinhua recently that "this anniversary gives more enthusiasm to inspire the principles of the Marxist theory."

Marx, born in Trier on May 5, 1818, was a German philosopher, economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, journalist and revolutionary socialist. He died on March 14, 1883 in London.

Karrar said Marxism is a guide to rid the world of unipolarity, and "there is still hope that the Marxist theory will rid the world of war, famine, tyranny of regimes and violation of the rights of the poor."

He said that this anniversary comes at a time when the world is more in need to implement the principles of the Marxist theory, adding Marxism embodies the antidote for many of the world's ailments, such as wealth concentration in a small category of society.

The Sudanese society needs the ideas and principles of the Marxist theory to achieve equal distribution of wealth and power and restore the rights of workers and working classes.

"Many of the Marxist theory's ideas have found their way to the Sudanese people due to the efforts by the leaders of the Sudanese Communist Party, some intellectuals, activists and revolutionaries," he said.

"The Sudanese society is suffering from social injustice, and I believe the solution is to recall and apply the principles of the Marxist theory for a more prosperous life for the Sudanese people," he added.
