As a firm Marxist,Lenin inherited and creatively developed Marxism,formed Leninism,changed socialism from theory to reality for the first time,and socialist countries appeared on the world stage for the first time.In socialist revolution and construction,Lenin boldly explored and solved the problems that the founders of Marxism could not have in their time and formed Lenin's compromise thought.Lenin's compromise thought runs through the whole period of Russian Socialist Revolution and construction.The theory and practice of the compromise thought is of great significance to both the Russian proletarian revolution and the international communist movement.Lenin's compromise thought is a rich Marxist Heritage,which covers all aspects of socialist revolution and construction.Lenin put forward many incisive arguments and important discussions on how the proletariat and other classes get along.In-depth study of Lenin's compromise thought can not only understand the essence of the compromise thought,but also get the gain and loss of the compromise strategy from the process and results before and after the implementation of Lenin's compromise thought,so as to provide reference and basis for the socialist modernization construction of China and the Communist Party of China.This article first focuses on the historical background of the formation of Lenin's idea of compromise.The theory of Lenin's compromise thought was born in response to the historical background and social changes.It was a response to the diplomatic situation between Russia and European powers.It was the objective demand of Russian revolutionary struggle and social construction.It was the development of Russian society under specific social and historical conditions.Inevitable result.Lenin was mainly engaged in revolutionary struggle activities at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.At this stage,European countries were undergoing tremendous changes.Russia,as a great power across Eurasia,was inevitably involved in the battlefields of Europe and Asia.Different social trends continue to impact the Russian revolutionary movement.The Marxist scientific worldview and methodology provided theoretical guidance for the formation of Lenin's idea of compromise.The traditional compromise ideas of Western society and the Russian social and political tradition provided references for Lenin.Lenin dialectically absorbed the essence of the above ideas and integrated them.A Marxist compromise idea suitable for Russia's development was formed.In the final analysis,Lenin's idea of compromise existed to solve practical contradictions and problems.The rapid development of Russian capitalism prompted the strength of the proletariat to grow along with it,and the Russian labor movement became more and more complex.How the workers' movement will advance,how socialist construction and revolution will proceed,and various currents of thought are hitting all classes of Russia like a snow rush.Lenin's idea of compromise is exactly the actual need to solve these problems.The evolution of Lenin's compromise thought can be divided into three stages:exploration stage,formation stage and perfection stage.In order to criticize the populist fallacy that village community can be regarded as the basis of socialism,the new economic change in the life of peasants,which was completed in 1893,can be regarded as the beginning of Lenin's compromise thought.Until the October Revolution,Lenin was fighting for the dissemination of Marxism,the agitation of the Russian workers' movement and the realization of the victory of the socialist revolution.In the span of 24 years,Russia experienced the first Russian Revolution,the outbreak of bourgeois democratic revolution and the baptism of the first World War.In the early days of the revolutionary movement,compromise was not conducive to the development of the revolution.How to distinguish different compromises and adhere to the principles of the proletarian revolution are extremely important.In many revolutionary practices,especially after the failure of the revolution in 1905,Lenin carefully analyzed the experience and lessons,and thought that the Russian Revolution needed to learn to launch attacks under favorable conditions,and also to realize the organized retreat under unfavorable situations.The Marxists must learn to make use of compromise to ensure that the Russian socialist revolution would continue to open up the road to victory at the most difficult historical juncture.This period can be called the exploration stage of Lenin's compromise thought.From the victory of the revolution in February 1917 to the implementation of the new economic policy in 1921 was the formation stage of Lenin's compromise thought.After the Bolsheviks established a socialist country,as a new socialist country with weak national strength,how to get along with other capitalist countries in the world,how to carry out socialist construction in the backward countries and conform to the law of social development.Lenin took these problems as an opportunity,summarized the compromise thought of Marxism under the guidance of Marxism,and demonstrated the necessity of compromise With objectivity,it further explains the objective laws and characteristics of the tortuous development of human society,explores how Soviet Russia carries out socialist construction,and deeply analyzes the relationship between socialism and capitalism.With the end of the civil war,how to change the economic situation of Soviet Russia has become an urgent task.The long-term war led to a great setback in Russia's production level,and food and daily necessities could not meet the people's survival needs at all.At the end of the war,the continued implementation of the wartime communist policy aroused more riots among the peasants and caused chaos in the country.However,under the circumstances of ideological awareness at that time,a considerable number of Communists believed that if they compromised with the farmers,implemented a fixed grain tax,and resumed the policy of free handling of surplus grain by the farmers,it would mean the restoration of the principle of commodity exchange,which meant that the Bolsheviks were regressing and lost their own direction.Lenin did a lot of work to solve these problems.From theory to practice,he summed up the principles and contents of Soviet Russia's retreat work,put forward the important theory of developing socialist economy by using western capitalist forces,and thus made a significant and deep development of Lenin's compromise thought.With the gradual formation and development of Lenin's compromise thought,Lenin has formed rich basic contents in the practice of compromise thought,involving a series of measures and transition methods including economy,politics and diplomacy.In terms of restoring the national economic construction,Lenin changed his land policy from nationalization to socialization.He believed that we should be good at compromise with the middle peasants,from "depriving the dispossessed" to organizing "calculation and supervision" and implementing the new economic policy.If the Russian Communist Party(Bolshevik)wants to successfully grasp and consolidate its political power,it must not only rely on the proletariat,but also deal with the relations with other classes and classes.Therefore,how to win the trust and support of the middle class as much as possible is of great significance for the Russian Communist Party(Bolshevik)to consolidate its ruling foundation.At this time,the socialist construction of Russia cannot be completed only by the proletariat and its ruling party.The Russian Communist Party(Bolshevik)must unite and absorb the forces of other classes,attract the wavering "transitional class" to the proletariat,get the support of the vast majority of the people,consolidate and expand the ruling basis of the Communist Party,and turn to include the small bourgeois Democrats and civilized capitalists Old experts and other sectors,including ethnic minorities,make appropriate compromises and strive for all forces that can be united.The thought of peaceful coexistence is the main thought of Lenin's diplomacy.After the October Revolution,Lenin advocated "compromise" with capitalist countries and "peaceful coexistence" to deal with the relationship between socialist countries and capitalist countries.At that time,Lenin's compromise thought not only adapted to the needs of Soviet Russia's diplomatic practice in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China,but also provided valuable experience for dealing with the relations between socialist countries and capitalist countries in the later period and developing trade with capitalist countries.It is precisely because Lenin's compromise thought covers many aspects such as politics,economy and diplomacy.It is a rich and complete theoretical system formed in the practice of revolution and construction on the premise of adhering to Marxism.It gives innovative answers to how to build socialism in a country with relatively low economy and culture,enriches and develops Marxism,This paper expounds the scientific and revolutionary nature of compromise thought,which has made great contributions to the development of Marxism and laid a realistic foundation for socialist revolution and construction.With the death of Lenin,the state policy of the Soviet Union gradually abandoned the line formulated by Lenin,and the state model gradually developed.In the socialist revolution and construction,the Communist Party of China inherits and develops Lenin's relevant thoughts,promotes the United Front,and strives for the final victory of the Chinese revolution,construction and reform.Promote the new direction of the development of the relationship between the two systems,learn from the advanced experience of capitalist countries in China's socialist construction,correctly handle the relationship between socialism and capitalism;promote the new direction of the development of the international communist movement,carry out the new struggle mode of the international communist movement,unite all forces conducive to socialist construction,and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind Jian.Although Lenin's compromise thought was formed in the 20th century,its revolutionary and scientific nature is still worth learning from the CPC,providing important reference value for deepening reform,and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as soon as possible.
