Analysis Of The Chinese Communist Party Social Class Theories During The Period Of The First Civil Revolution

The study of China's social classes is a systematic object, especially in the market economy situation, the structure of the social classes has changed a lot, and the study of China's social classes, the new classes in particular is a hot point at present. While in this systematic study object, the early study of this subject is not enough. And the point of this thesis is to study a part of this systematic subject in certain period that is the First Revolution period. I will give a general discussion concerned about the class theories which the CPC formed during the First Revolution period.First, in this paper, there will be a general demonstration about the main ideas formed by the CPC in that period. The related understanding and discussions about certain subjects in the revolution situation, as well as the resolution passed by the CPC committee could demonstrate the evolution process of the CPC's class theories in that historic situation.Second, in this paper, there will be a discussion about the factors which affected the class theories formed by the CPC in that period. During the First Revolution period, there were two main sources which affected the CPC in the understanding of China's social class problems, one is the theoretical element and the other is the CPC' practice experience in that period. As to the theoretical factors, the study and the understanding of Marxism by the pioneer CPC members is an important source. While in that period, under the special international situation, the Soviet Union revolution experience and the theories of Socialist revolution by Lenin have a more direct affection to CPC. On the other hand, not long after the foundation, the CPC has taken part in the revolution. During the process, the victory or the failure of the revolution is decided by the different classes of the society. By contracting and working with the different classes at that time, the experience gives the CPC a deeper acknowledgement of the characteristics of the classes. And the acknowledgments from both the revolution theories and the practice have a complicated relationship and they interact each other. Last, the paper analyzed the significance of the social class theories formed by CPC in that period. The immature class theories formed by CPC at that time is a basis of the future New Democratic Revolution Theory. Meantime, under the direct of these theories, the CPC achieved a lot in the development of Labor movement as well as the Peasant movement; and the CPC learned a lot in dealing the relationship with the bourgeois. On the other hand, the failures in the movement during the revolution period have disclosed that the CPC was still immature in the subject of the understanding of China's social classes and the lessons in the revolution period would be a treasure for the CPC.
