Lefebvre’s "Spatialize" Interpretation Of Marx’s Communist Thought

Marx’s communist thought,as a thought of completely liberating the proletariat and all mankind,embodies Marx’s ideal pursuit and struggle direction.The elucidation process of Marx’s communist thought originates from Marx’s analysis and criticism of real life,which is not only the practical starting point of Marx’s elucidation of communist thought,but also the practical object of Marx’s communist thought.Therefore,in order to keep pace with The Times to interpret Marx’s communist thought,we must make a dialectical and comprehensive analysis and understanding of contemporary real life.However,real life itself has the characteristics of complexity and triviality,so people need to construct a corresponding analysis method to complete its analysis.Henri Lefebvre’s theory of “the production of space” can be regarded as such a corresponding theoretical construction: In this theory,Lefebvre tried to communicate the three dimensions of “daily life”(the concept of daily life was put forward by Lefebvre on the basis of analyzing the real life of contemporary capitalism,that is,the real life with modern characteristics with monotonicity and carnival moments at the same time).It includes dynamic experience perception,logical knowledge system,imaginative life experience,which spatializes daily life and endows daily life with a dialectical and holistic understanding.Through this dialectical understanding and analysis,Lefebvre accurately grasped the new changes of the mode of production in capitalist society,that is,the internal colonization of capitalism including the urbanization of capitalism and the imagination of consumer society,and profoundly revealed the embodiment of the inherent contradictions of capitalism in these phenomena,and put forward a series of targeted reform strategies and practice methods.The above content has undoubtedly enriched the connotation of marxist communist thought.However,it should be pointed out that in the application of the theory of “the production of space”,Lefebvre’s theory has the risk of deviating from the historical materialist standpoint because he exaggerates the influence of subjective elements.This also makes his theory inevitably has the certain utopian nature.Therefore,when we readers absorb the nutrients of Lefebvre’s theory,we must always keep a clear mind and critical consciousness,so that we can criticize Lefebvre’s theory decisively when it makes mistakes.
