Abstract：In the early new century, though many sparkles emerged in the development of the world socialist movement, those partial upsurges failed to dominate the development of the movement, while the early 21 st century's world socialist movement is still at a low tide. Because the upheaval of the former Soviet Union and East Europe had an unprecedented blow on the world's socialist movement, because new changes have taken place in the capitalism economy, politics and the social contradiction and because the communist parties in developed countries are in the process of adjusting strategy and tactics and are in the process of self transformation, the low tide of the world socialist will sustain a considerably long period. However, the world socialist movement turns up many new characters in its low tide which embody positive transformative factors, where lies the hope of the world socialist movement in the 21 st century.
