From Marx Social Development View To Scientific Development View-the Evolvement Track Of Socialist Development Philosophy

“What is the development of socialist society and how do we realize it” is thedistinctive theme that has run through Marx social development view to scientificdevelopment view. Communism is the way and goal that Marx applied to resolvesocial development issues. By criticizing the development issues in capitalist societyand absorbing the reasonable factors of development views in modern westerncountries, Marx put forward the scientific socialist development view, which not onlycorrectly revealed the developing law of human society and laid the scientific theoryfoundation for social development view, but presented a concrete idea to thedevelopment of socialist society.Marx social development view mainly includes such theories in socialdevelopment as the holism, the comprehensive dynamics theory, dialecticaldeterminism and the value theory, which systematically gives answers to questionssuch as “what is social development? What can promote social development? Howand for whom can the social development be realized?” The unity of theory andpractice is the fundamental principle of Marx social development, which means thatMarx didn’t use a set pattern to formulate the concrete ways and approaches for socialdevelopment. This principle is specifically embodied in Marx’s thought of historicalenvironment, which indicates that the development of socialism is in accordance withthe specific historical environment. However, in realistic practice of socialism, ithas been a tortuous process for people to know what on earth the socialistdevelopment is and how to realize it. This thesis maintains that the combination ofMarx social development view with the socialist practice has experienced two bigphases of negative negation. The first negatively negating stage is Stalin’s initialprobe to the practice of Marx socialist development view. This process is constitutedby three phases and two negations, evolving from the victory of Russian OctoberRevolution to at-war Communism Policy to New Economic Policy and to Lenin’slater years. It was the victory of Russian October Revolution led by Lenin thatmarked the change of world history direction and put into practice the theory of Marx social development view. The implement of at-war Communism Policy, however,surpassed the reality of backward economy and culture, and involved Marx’scommunism ideal into fantasy. In retrospect to the lessons taught by at-warCommunism, Lenin implemented New Economic Policy and again found the correctapproach to combine Marx social development view with the social development ofsocialist countries based on backward economy and culture. at his later years, Lenincomprehensively thought about the concrete way to how the development of socialistsociety can be realized on the basis of backward economy and culture, which not onlythoroughly discard the development concept in the period of at-war communism, butalso elevated Lenin’s thought of building proletarian regime on backward economicand cultural basis. The second negatively negating stage is made up of three phasesand two negations, that is, New Economic policy and Lenin’s later years, Sovietsocialism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. Soviet socialism didn’t,according to the Lenin’s thought, combine Marx social development view with thepractical socialism. On the contrary, in the practice of soviet socialism, Marx’scommunism was put into fantasy. Mao Zedong didn’t escape the mold of sovietsocialism although he once tried a road of socialist development with Chinesecharacteristics. The practice of Chinese style socialism thoroughly gets out of thewrong development mode of soviet socialism. It maintains Marx’s developmentrequirement of whole society progress, and insists the essence of depending on thepublic to realize human’s freedom and comprehensive development. On thesefoundations and according to the development issue encountered in specific historicalenvironment, it distributes the development into economy, politics and culture; socialdevelopment view has different performances in different periods: at first, DengXiaoping put forward the social development view based on the productivity; then thethird generation of the leading collective of the party in the core of Jiang Zemingrealizes the social development view in the core of institutional innovation; later thesocial development view is increasingly people oriented. These performances realizethe advance of Marx social development view with the times. Scientific developmentview, as the concentrated reflection of the socialist development theory with Chinesecharacteristics, has its rich meaning of theory, which mainly embodies the historical leap of Marx social development view. First, scientific development view reveals thecore value of Marx social development view. Second, scientific development viewreflects Marx’s optimal criteria of the whole society development. Meanwhile,scientific development view also has the important value at present. It has been foundthat the development theory of western countries cannot solve the developmentproblems encountered in contemporary world， Scientific development viewsurpasses the present development theory of western countries and furthermorereveals the contemporary value of Marx social development view. The finalconclusion of this article is as follows: The inherent law that Marx socialistdevelopment must interact with practice should be scanned from the aspect ofsocialist development, which particularly refers to the socialist development ofrelatively backward countries, especially China whose socialist development is builton relatively backward foundation.
