On The Policies Of The Communist Party Of China For National Capitalism (1940-1956)

National capitalism didn't develop to the fullest extent in the narrow space between foreign imperialism and native feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism. It was a new component part in social economic structure of china. The communist Party of China must get along well with national capitalism while struggling for the realization of communism During New Democratic revolution and construction, CPC's policies for national capitalism had been varied from protecting it, encouraging it, making use of it to restricting it, transforming if, "eliminating" it, and then redeveloping it. The modification of CPC's policies for national capitalism went with the exploration of the new democratic revolution and socialism construction. The modification of policies was consistent with the practical situation at the time. However, it had some defects and problems, too. The course of transforming was too early and pressing, finally resulting in the extinction of capitalism and small producers, which in turn caused the slow development, even a standstill of the national economy.There were profound reasons for the rapid change of CPC's policies for national capitalism: not only because of the practical need of developing national economy, but also because of the political factor to win over alliances; the party was over anxious for socialism and over stepped stages. In addition, in the special historical phase some exception leader had special position, which also contributed to the sharp changes of policies. All those factors were related with national and international situation.Now, looking back upon those policies during this historical period doesn't mean complaining history and predecessors, but to sum up experience and gain enlightenment in order to handle properly the relation with various social strata in new situation. This demands us:â… , to understand socialism and capitalism correctly; â…¡, to make clear that productive forces are fundamental standards to judge the history of social development; â…¢, to fully understand that backward economy and culture caused the party to overstep social formation; â…£, to decide policy democratically, scientifically and systematically. â…¤, to reject capitalism road and make use of capitalism's mode of production; â…¥, to understand it is significant to deal with the relation with capitalism appropriately in a backward country .In practice we should uphold the following principles: â… , stick to the socialist road, and don't give up the political superiority; â…¡, Don't indiscriminately imitate the occident completely; â…¢, Resolutely resist decadence in capitalism; â…£, According to the policy of "three advantage's" from capitalism on economy, politics and culture to develop our own country.As for method for thinking, we should not only be practical and realistic, but also free ourselves from old ideas and dogmatism. Meanwhile we should keep up with the times and bring forth new ideas continually. At present we should be aware that whether private enterprises are defined as a class or a stratum, they are socialism constructors. In a word, various forms of private enterprises are indispensable parts in our socialist modernization.
