Conclusion

Conclusion.

In Thailand, as in many other Third World countries, foreign capitalists were sucking the blood of the working people, plundering their natural resources and interventing her domestic politics and economy. In the [unclear: countryside], landlords, local gentry and money-lenders were expropriating the vast majority of peasants. The feudal suppression, which greatly obstructed the development in the forces of production had made the Thai people to live in an abyss of agonies. The obiquity of multinational corporations, the [unclear: banknm] in the countryside, the migration of poor peasants into the slum areas from the urban area, the marked differences between the city and the countrywide: all these are some of the salient features in many Third World countries.

Yet, the general trend of "countries want independence, nations want liberation, and the people want revolution" has been surging vigorously. The anti-imperialist struggles of the Third World people are achieving greater and greater success. This irresistible trend all over the world has been reshaping the world situation, and undoubtedly lasting its impacts on the Thai society. The people of Thailand on their road of struggles for genuine democracy and independence will see a bright future and hope.
