Sempena dengan 50 tahun Kemerdekaan Malaya, Forum Sosialisma 2007 ingin meninjau sumbangkan parti kiri, peranan dan kritikan dalam tiga tahap iaitu zaman sebelum Kemerdekaan, zaman fron sosialis (60an – 70an) dan zaman selepas kejatuhan tembok Berlin pada tahun 1989.

The left political parties were the first political parties in Malaya and have existed since the times of MCP and KMM in the early 1930s till the struggles of the PSM today. In conjunction with 50 years of Independence of Malaya, This year’s Socialist Forum would like to examine, explore the role and contributions of the left in three critical phrases – the era before Merdeka, The Socialist Front period (1960s-70s) and the period after the cold war (post 1989).
