Re - Understanding Of Bernstein 's

In the end of the 19 th century and the early 20 th century, with the developmentof the new technology revolution and social political life, capitalism got a newprogress. It constantly adjusts and reforms itself to meet the developmentrequirements of the age. Therefore, correspondingly, workers’ rights and welfare hasbeen paid attention to and improved, the German Social Democratic Party has made agreat progress and development in the parliamentary struggle and trade unionmovement. Then, two inter-opposite schools gradually formed in the German SocialDemocratic Party, one is Orthodox Marxism, represented by the Kautsky and RosaLuxemburg, one is Revisionist, represented by Bernstein. These two schools launchedan extensive debate and struggle inside the Marxism camps, through it, Bernstein’sRevisionist grow up.The title of Revisionist which was dubbed at the beginning of the Bernsteinism,has got a critique from some important theorists within the party. Until now, manydomestic scholars’ understand to the Bernsteinism is only limited to critic and denyhis revisionist at the macro.The first chapter mainly introduced the background, including its realisticbackground and theoretical background. Later in the 19 th century, the development ofscience and technology, and so did the capitalist development of politics, economy,life, the capitalist system internal reform and adjustment, one kind of reformismthought in the social reform tide rising in influence, thought of Bernsteinism theorybegan to form and develop further. In the germination period of socialism,Bernsteinism exposure to Turin and Lassalle’s thought, their ideas to a certain extent,to the socialism thought had a profound impact. : Bernsteinism generated in thebeginning, the transition of the ideas of Marx, Engels is the key of Bernsteinism form.In German socialist movement, the formation of Bernsteinism ideology is more byGerman influence of early correction of Marxist socialism genre. at the same time,because the Development of New Kantianism, influence scope expands unceasingly,the thought of the Bernsteinism is also influenced by the trend, therefore, its thoughtwith a strong ethical color, it believed that moral and humanistic thought in theprocess of socialist development is a great significance.The second chapter of this article will analyze the thoughts and opinions ofBernstein himself, through the description: from the initial question, to the publishedarticles and the full criticize of the Orthodox Marxism, to recognize and understandthe Bernsteinism’s formation and development.The third chapter will comprehensively analyze and compare the Bernsteinism’sreasonable connotation and shortage in the dialectical position: Neither one-sidednegative the Bernsteinism, nor entirely confirm the Bernsteinism, but rethinking itobjectively. On the one hand, the theory owned realistic political foundation,advocated the unity of theory and reality, He saw the self-regulation of capitalism, andcorrected the point that Capitalism is about to perish. On the other hand, theBernsteinism also recognized the practical significance of the way of reform andimprovement in the proletarian movement. However, Bernstein’s the understanding ofthe Marxist theory has certain limitations, therefore, the theory itself, there are alsosome shortcomings and the insufficiency.The fourth chapter mainly talked about the Bernsteinism digging and inheritanceof the classic theory of Marx and Engels in their later years, reflects theunderstanding of the social reality and adapting of the development of the time. ForBernsteinism, we must stand on the position of historical materialism and objectivelyto realize and treat. Since reform and opening up, our country constantly innovation,constantly promote and develop the socialist, according to our specific nationalconditions, the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, weshould stand on the position of our era, again to realize the Bernsteinism, we may findthat their views have certain rationality, so, carry on objective and fair betweenagainst the Bernsteinism, have certain reference significance for our currentdevelopment.
