Studies On The Inner Contradiction And Its Transformation Mechanism In The Process Of The Popularization Of Marxism

The contradictions which exist in all things promote the development of any things, so is the nature, human society and human understanding activities. As a kind of practical and cognitive activities, the popularization of Marxism cannot produce and develop without contradictions. The contradictions rule not only the properties, structure, basic features, but also the methods, policies, guiding principles, measures of the popularization of Marxism and so on. The contradictions of the popularization of Marxism are various, which are different in the nature, status and roles. And the basic contradictions which are composed of two pairs of contradictions play a decisive role in the process of the popularization of Marxism. The first basic contradiction is the contradiction between Marxism being need to be known well by the people and Marxism being difficult to understand, in other words, is the contradiction between Marxism academic level and the ability of people to understand. That Marxism is need to be known well by the people is decided by the inherent nature of its own, and the people need to understand Marxism is decided by their historical mission and main body position, so there are inner, natural and inevitable relations between the two sides of this pair of contradictions which is the inherent contradiction of the popularization of Marxism. This pair of contradictions drives the process of the popularization of Marxism, which consists of two rules:the rule of Marxism’s development to adapt to people’s understanding level, and the rule of the understanding level of the people increased in order to adapt to the original level of the Marxist texts. The two rules can promote the bidirectional interaction, mutual adaptation, so the popularization of Marxism and the Marxist of people jointly promote the process of the popularization of Marxism.The contradiction between Marxism’s texts academic level and the ability of people to understand is the fundamental driving force in the process of the popularization of Marxism, which is the prerequisite contradiction, structural contradiction and inherent contradiction. The first pair of basic contradictions of the popularization of Marxism determines that Marxism must be popular, and the popularization is the route one must be taken to resolve this contradiction.The first pair of basic contradictions of the popularization of Marxism determines the inevitability of the popularization of Marxism, so can the popularization of Marxism be realized? This depends on the ability to achieve the popularization of Marxism, and if the popularization abilities of Marxism can meet the increasing needs of people on Marxism. The contradiction between the popularization abilities of Marxism and the people’s needs on Marxism is the second contradiction in the process of the popularization of Marxism, which is procedural contradiction, functional contradiction and external contradiction. The second pair of basic contradictions is a law that the popularization abilities of Marxism must adapt to the needs status to Marxism of people. And the second pair of basic contradictions determines the real process of transformation of the popularization of Marxism, so this pair of basic contradictions is the fundamental driving force to promote the popularization of Marxism.The first and the second basic contradictions have a relation of opposition and unification, and the two sides of each basic contradiction also have a relation of opposition and unification. The first basic contradiction that is the premise of the second basic contradiction determines the second one, if there is not the first basic contradiction, then the second basic contradiction will not be appeared. At the same time, the second basic contradiction restricts and influences the first one, and the final solution of the first pair of basic contradiction also depends on the solution of the second basic contradiction.The first basic contradiction drives the movement of the second basic contradiction, and the second basic contradiction is able to realize the transformation from theory form to concrete form. In the whole process of the popularization of Marxism, the first basic contradiction can provide inner driving force, and the second basic contradiction can provide external power. No matter which pair of contradiction can not represent the integrated process of the popularization of Marxism, coordinating the two basic contradictions is the only way to form a comprehensive and hierarchical basic contradiction of the popularization of Marxism. Only in this way, the popularization of Marxism can have powerful driving forces. All in all, the two pairs of basic contradictions run through the whole process of the popularization of Marxism, that define properties of the popularization of Marxism, that promote the popularization of Marxism fundamentally, that restrict other contradictions in the process of popularization of Marxism.The work of the popularization of Marxism should follow the movement rules of the basic contradictions, otherwise it will cause the intensification of the basic contradictions, which is the important reason to lead to the the crisis of belief. The laws of contradiction movement are important bases to not only draft routes, guiding principles or policies of the popularization of Marxism, but also analyze the new changes and its reasons of the popularization of Marxism because the new trends of the popularization of Marxism are essentially the conflict and adjustment results of the two basic contradictions.All aspects of the contradiction of popularization of Marxism form the intermediary double transformation system of popularization of Marxism, this system mainly consists of the Marxism mastercopy, popularization workers, universal and communication means, the works and services of popularity (referred to as popular products), the public, accept and use means; universal and communication means,accept and use means are called the popularization means, means of popularization and popular products are called popularization intermediary, in which, popular products are called the intermediary carrier of popularization.From the process of Marxism popularization, the system can be divided into two subsystems:one is made up of the Marxism doctrine, popularization workers, universal and communication means, whose function is to implement popularization of Marxism, that is, turn the academic form into popular concrete shape, so that the public can grasp Marxism easily, this subsystem can be referred to propagation subsystem; another subsystem is made up of popular products, the public, accept and use means, whose function is to complete the work of Marxism on enhancing the public, that is, turn the people who do not master and faith Marxism to master and faith Marxism, this subsystem can be referred as acceptance subsystem. Popular products are products of popularity of the subsystem, also the basement of accept subsystem, and the bridge of these two subsystems, are the coupling intermediate carrier of these two subsystems. This intermediate carrier connect the function of these two subsystems, they constitute the intermediary double transformation system of the popularization of Marxism together.In conclusion, this paper argues that the nature of popularization of Marxism is to solve the basic contradiction of the popularization of Marxism, to liberate and develop the force of the popularization of Marxism, to eliminate the information gap of Marxism, to improve the quality of public about Marxism together. The concept of the nature of popularization of Marxism points out the underlying causes of the popularization of Marxism, the basic means and the fundamental purpose, and unite them organicly. Based on this understanding of the nature, the task of popularization of Marxism should be determind by four aspects of resolving the fundamental contradiction, that is, strengthen work of popularizing Marxism mastercopy, enhance the public’s ability to grasp Marxism, enhance the force of the popularization of Marxism, raise the level of the need on Marxism of the public.So, how do we realize the nature of Marxism popularization and complete the fundamental task of Marxism popularization? Since the reform and opening-up, with the transformation of the economic system, people’s ideas, work style, cognitive style, and lifestyle have great changes. The past Marxist or socialist education modes of the public, in the social environment dominated by the planned economy, have difficulties in adapting the reality, which are also difficult to be main channels for Marxism popularization. So, are there the important channels suitable for contemporary ordinary people to learn or master the Marxism? Or can we find a real way for ordinary Chinese to Marxism popularization?Along with the transition of social and cultural life dominated by the socialist market economy, cultural ecology has shifted accordingly:emergence of new cultural communities, popularization of popular culture, revival of traditional culture, activity of the masses culture, flourish of organizational culture, attention to family culture. With these types of cultures intertwining, confronting, blending and alternating, constitute the public culture together; the people are living in this cultural environment, which is the actual stage of development of Chinese culture. Through questionnaire survey we find that the public are more familiar with the public culture than elegant culture or elite culture, the difference is significant. The public culture is the main source of information in people’s daily life and the main channel for the cultural life of the public. Through the oretical analysis, the public culture and the public have associated-mutual relations, the public culture is the natural media to an individual. It demonstrates that Marxism can dissolve the public culture, from the aspects of contents and forms, and the public culture is also suitable for the media of Marxism popularization. By means of intergradations of Marxism into the public culture, the public culture can become the main channel and media of Marxism popularization, which become media that connect propagation subsystem with acceptance subsystem of Marxism, and which constitutes the double transformation system by main intermediary carrier of the public culture. It is the main channel and effective way to solve the contradictions of Marxism popularization now that Marxism popularization uses the public culture as main intermediary carrier.If such a system is called unitary Marxism popularization system, in which the works and services of Marxism popularization connect directly the two subsystems; then such a system would called duplex Marxism popularization system, in which the public culture of Marxism couple indirect the two subsystems. The mechanisms of Marxism integrating into the public culture are to load-unload, which involves three key aspects:(1) Marxism information is encoded into the integrated format; (2) certain ways and methods are used to integrate into the public culture; (3) extract Marxist information from mixed public culture. Compared to unitary popularization, the duplex one seemingly adopts a circuitous way, around a circle, but it will get good results because it is close to a real cultural life of people. This is the dialectics of development, which also applies for Marxism popularization.The process of load-unload of Marxism information actually manifests interaction between Marxism popularization and the public culture. There are four types of action and reaction in general:(1) Marxism popularization provide material, topics(including outlook of world, life and value), standpoints, methods and spirits for the public culture; (2) Marxism popularity can correct the public culture, which is synthetical function compositing the various sub-functions; (3) the public culture have multidimensional positive effects on Marxism popularity (including the reactions of need to cultural development, cultural life practice, conceptual and emotional resources, expressing and transmission modes, etc.); (4) the public culture have multidimensional negative effects on Marxism popularity. The results of Marxism popularity interacting^ with the public culture is that Marxism are blended into the public culture, and that high-end Marxist theory transform into grounding commonsense, regulating the interactive system. It is referred to Marxism grounding theory, which is the basic content of road of Marxism popularity with characteristics of the public culture.Irregular interactions optimize the socialist cultural ecology, which has multiple purposes:promoting the public culture socialist, enriching people’s cultural life, giving people ideological and political education, pushing forward the development and prosperity of socialist culture. Of course, the public culture has dual nature, which has both positive effects and negative effects on Marxism popularity. The irregular interactions between the public culture with Marxism popularization lead to various indigestion and error-prone, such as vulgar, experience-based, dogmatic, formulaic, sloganized, utilitarian, practical, formal, mechanized, one-sided, fragmented, de-party-spirit, superstitious, mysterious, even misinterpreting and misunderstanding phenomena, and so on. It is a difficult theoretical problem, but also a practical one, worth of paying high attention.According to the analysis of Marxism popularity of the relevant conflict rules, views, models, survey results, and so on. it can be introduced the solutions to the main contents and forms of Marxism basic contradiction, dominant factors affecting the efficiency of Marxism popularization, as well as integrated point of interaction between Marxism popularity subjects with the public subjects. They constitute the three optimal ways of Marxism popularity, that is imagery, digitization and life-oriented Marxism.
