Reserch On Notation And Words Of Mao Zedong’s Reding Socialist Political Economics

At the end of1950s, Chairman Mao put forward the policy of three pieces offlags, intending to improve economic construction. However, this policy was a "bigtest" of idealism which was far from reality, there were many problems as soon as itstarted. Mao Zedong began to pay attention to reality after idealism encountereddifficulties, he tried to correct those errors in the policy of three pieces of flags,therefore, he advocated leaders to read socialist political economics. He thought,reading socialist political economics could reduce routinism in work, could learn theconstruction experience of socialism from Soviet Union, could improve leaders’theoretical level, and could clarify a series of inaccurate and confused thought inpeople’s mind.Mao Zedong put forward some valuable theories against the policy of threepieces of flags when he was reading socialist political economics. For example,socialism can be divided into two stages, the first stage is undeveloped socialism, andthe second one is more developed socialism; The national economy developmentshould be overall consideration, both public and private; Socialism constructionshould develop in the style of wave upon wave. And so on. Mao Zedong discussedmainly on problems about socialist commodity economy and contradictions ofsocialism. Regard to socialist commodity economy, Mao Zedong illuminated thenecessity and importance of existence of commodity production and long-standingcommodity exchanges in our country, defined the character of socialist commodityproduction and commodity exchanges, explored the activity pattern of socialistcommodity economy, and pointed out that some production materials also belong tocommodities, put forward the law of value is a great school, and soon. With respect toproblems about socialist contradictions, Mao Zedong faced the social contradictionsand their objective existence squarely, revealed the reasons for the appearance ofsocial contradictions, probed into various methods to solve socialist socialcontradictions.However, idealism took a large part in Mao Zedong’s thinking structure when heread socialist political economics, and this affected his exploration on socialismconstruction. Therefore, Mao Zedong put forward some incorrect views which werenot from the actual conditions when he continued to affirm the policy of three piecesof flags. These views including advocating change the relations of productionconstantly in order to improve the developmentof production ability, appreciating theprovision of distribution and thinking poor is better than rich. Mao Zedong had somelimitations on understanding the problems of socialist commodity economy andsocialist contradictions. When come to commodity economy, Mao Zedong denied thatmost production materials belong to commodity, claimed to push all capitalists outfrom the circulation field of commodity, forbid the existence and development ofindividual commerce, only allowed state-run business and cooperative business;Healso denied socialist business was competitive, he just admitted the importance of thelaw of value in economy-accounting, but he didn’t notice its regulatory role in goods production; He exaggerated and misunderstood the negative effect of commodityproduction as well as the law of value, etc. Mao Zedong put too much emphasis onstruggle while ignored the unity of contradictions, looked down on balance whilepraised highly on unbalance, attached too much importance on ideologicalcontradictions while ignore the material aspects among people’s internalcontradictions, and so on.Mao Zedong’s reading socialist political economics was a hard exploration forsocialism construction, which had two effects on his exploration from1960to1966.On one hand, those views which were in line with reality formed when he was readinghad been further developed and perfected under the guidance of realistic, and theseviews in turn provided a theory basis for formulate correct rules and regulations; Onthe other hand, under the guidance of idealism, Mao Zedong described those viewswhich were out line of reality more systemic and comprehensively, these viewsmisguided his socialist exploration, and finally pushed him into the tragedian situationof cultural evolution.
