Marx And Engels Economic Equality And Its Path In China

As we all know, equality, which human society has been an enduring topic of private ownership, is the human value of the ideal society demands. It has involved in the fields of politics, economy, culture and other social which we achieved the goals of equality. To be guided by historical materialism, Marx and Engels firstly explore human social equality issues on the basis of scientific perspective, emphasize the characteristic of equality which was specific, historical and can be assigned different contents by different classes. From the vast majority of people standpoints, they summarized the actual content of the proletarian equality requirements, and points out that equality should be realistic, should be implemented in social, economic field, As to equalities in other fields, equality of economic field plays a fundamental role in all fields. As regards contemporary China society, with sustainable development of social productivity, the living standards of Chinese people has been improved significantly, in the meantime,income gap shows a continuous rising trend and economic inequalities, such as the income gap between the rich and the poor is widening, are more serious. So the thought of economic equality of Marx and Engels gets more and more people’s extensive concerning. To further enhance and deepen the study of Marx and Engels thought of economic equality not only helps us to correctly and comprehensively understand the Marxist idea of equality, but can provide scientific theoretical support for efficiently resolving the inequality problem which was appeared in the development of economy of the primary stage of socialism.It is not common that Marx and Engels directly use the word of economic equality,but does not mean that they have no concerns about this issue. Classic Works, which contains rich and profound thoughts of economic equality, need to be read carefully and to dig deep into. Discussion on the equality in the economic field, It is necessary for us to grasp of all components of economic activity. Through an in-depth examination and analysis of the four links of social reproduction which contains production, distribution,exchange, and consumption, Marx and Engels reveal serious inequalities in all the links of the process of capitalist production, and rich puts forward some basic ideas about solving economic inequalities, as well as a number of specific programmes. Those thoughts give us the total guideline and scientific methodology which could correctlyknow and understand economic equality of the Socialist. The implementation of economic equality in our country, which was explored in different stages, was basically follow Marx and Engels research ideas and methods of economic equality, and in part was on the inheritance and development of Marx and Engels thought of economic equality.Discussing the issue of economic equality should not remain on the surface, it should go deep into reality; and it should not stay on a certain component of production,distribution, exchange, it should be comprehensive investigation and analysis of every link of the whole process of economic activities. In this paper, we try to further explore the comprehensive connotation of Marx and Engels’ economic equality thoughts. Firstly,the needs of economic equality, which existed in the different historical period and were on behalf of the different class, were compared through reading the classic text. The cause and effect of economic equality thoughts of Marx and Engels was clarified, and then it was systematic analyzed and in-depth reseached from 4 aspects such as the equality of production, the equality of distribution, the equality of exchange and the equality of consumption. Economic equality of Marx and Engels, which based on the criticism and inheritance of ancient Greek philosophers, bourgeois enlightenment thinkers and utopian socialists’ equality, it affirms that the old concept of economic equality has historical rationalization factors, as well as reveals its historical limitations represented by their class stand. Secondly, in order to deepen the understanding and acknowledge of Marx and Engels economic equality, we tease out the realization way of Marx and Engels economic equality in china, and overall illustrate and analyse the process of exploring and development. From fuzzy recognition of the period of democratic revolution to bold attempt of the planned economy period, to the substantive breakthrough in reform and opening period, the whole process had a difficult exploration, fully demonstrating the complexity and difficulty of the process to achieve economic equality.It may be said that the whole process of exploring was difficult and tortuous. This fully shows that the process of impleting economic equality was complexity and arduousness.Research on economic equality should be guided by the historical materialism and establish on the basis of the productivity development, and start from objective economic facts and individuals, investigate and analysize each compenent of the process of economic activities. Only when we regard the economic equality thought of Marxand Engels as an organic whole and accurately and hold the view that the precondition of economic equality is the equality of production, the fundamental guarantee of economic equality is distribution equality,the implementation model of economic equality is give and take, the equality of consumption is the final home of economic equality, economic equality can better play its role in guiding practice. At the present stage, equality was written in party constitution respectively as the basic elements of socialism idea and socialism core value on the party’s 17 th and 18 th conference,Equality still was the value goal and value pursuit of the the comprehensive development of the society and human being. As to economic field, many unreasonable phenomenons still exist in the operational process of the market economy with Socialism with Chinese characteristics, especially ownership and income distribution, it is urgent for those problem that the correct guidance of Marx and Engels’ Scientific view of economic equality was needed.
