ABSTRACT
The external economic relations of the socialist state are closely related to socialist economic construction at home and to international situations. The external economic relations of the socialist state are components of the external relations of the socialist state. The socialist countries use Marxism and internationalism as their common ideological basis. The fundamental principle of the foreign relations of the socialist state is firm adherence to proletarian internationalism. In handling external economic relations, the socialist state must treat each case distinctively according to the social system of each country. The foreign trade and so-called economic aid of Soviet revisionism are also tools for aggression and expansion used by the new czars. The foreign trade of the socialist state is completely different from the foreign trade of imperialist and social-imperialist countries. The foreign trade of the socialist state is a component of the socialist economy.
