The Reflection On Scientific Socialism And Democratic Socialism

The divergence and contest between scientific socialism and democratic socialism, by way of communist party and socialist party, have great influnce on the international socialism movement. At present, there are two experimental places for the socialism at the same time: one, which mainly exists in developing nations such as China, takes the scientific socialism as the guiding ideology and the communist party as the leading forces; the other, which mainly exists in the developed capitalist countries, takes the democratic socialism as the guiding ideology and Social Democratic Party as the leading forces. Because of their different national, social and party conditions, the devotees for the scientific socialism and democratic socialism have clear different understanding as to socialism, and accordingly, adopt different political measures. This kind of difference, which reflects the multiplicity of the world civilization and the human society development paths, is understandable. However, for a long time, the scientific socialism and the democratic socialism both consider only itself to be true socialism and desire to substitute the other side, which is harmful to the world proletarian, the workers and the human beings' unity.Rereconsidering the historic topic of the development course of the socialism and the capitalism, on the one hand, the scientific socialism and the communist party should take care of the improvement essenc e and anti-communism nature of the democratic socialism and Social Democratic Party, and thus persist in the Four Fundamental Principles and guarantee the correct direction of the reform and opening policy and the modernization; on the other hand, they should take references to the achievements obtained by democratic socialism and Social Democratic Party in the fields of material civilization, the political civilization, the spiritual civilization and the social civilization both in theory and in practices according to the principle of being oriented on myself and being useful to myself.Confronting the new century, the scientific socialism and the democratic socialism, the communist party and Social Democratic Party should respect mutually, seek common grounds while maintain the differences, construct one kind of new relations, seek and promote the understanding and the cooperation between each other, develop the the dialogue and exchanges of multi-channels and multi- forms so as to follow the historical trends and maintain the universe common interests.
