Studies On Marx' Equal Rights Thought

Marx use to the concept of historical materialism as the starting point and he analyze,inspects the foundation,basic of the rights.Marx thinks that rights are not given by "natural",but "people." Rights are a social phenomenon and the product of the development of human society to a certain historical stage.At the same time,right is the object of equitable distribution.Because human rights are closely related to wealth,income,freedom,security and interests.Equality are a core concept of right.Equality of rights is not a eternal truth.In different social system,the standard for valuing Equality of rights is laso historical,specific. Equality of rights occupy a very important position in the Marxist theory of ideology.The human rights is not just in terms of a general economic rights,but includes the right to legal systems,as well as moral rights and political rights.In this paper,We wilt mainly analyze the idea of equal righs which is about the legal system and the equality of rights of thinking on the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups and distribution according to work of Marx' socialist system.After analyzing the study,we found that "The protection of the rights of the people,safeguard the dominant position of the people's right" is a main theme of the ideas of Marx equal rights of the whole.In order to make a deeper research for the Marxist equality of rights,we compared the equality of rights of Marxism with the one of the contemporary liberalism Master of Law sent,a well-known U.S.philosopher and ethicists -John Rawls and the United States famous jurist--Dworkin.Indeed,in many parts,Rawls and Ronald Dworkin's theory of equality of rights have some mutual accommodation with Marxist'ideology.At the same time,Rawls and Ronald Dworkin's theory of equality of rights can help us to resolve the current Chinese society' rights of inequality in transition and it not only provides the new theoretical thinking point,but also the starting point for us.For example, Rawls' "difference principle" which is stressed the pursuit of equality and efficiency;Dworkin attacked Hart who is on behalf of the legal positivism and developed the principle of the right and interpretation of morality,and Rawls and Dworkin developed the theory of social protection of the rights for vulnerable groups.However,both Rawls and Dworkin lived in the highly developed capitalist society which was under the conditions of market economy United States at that time;they were facing with the social crisis,the national contradictions of a modern democratic country.Therefore,it is the needs of social reality in United States that the Rawls and Dworkin only can address the right to equality of the modern democratic countries from different theory and different ways for largest target.In other words,when they were solving the issue of equality of rights,they did not come out of this limit of social system of private ownership to seek a solution----Rawls,as a political theorist though his theory advocates the equality of rights for basic social' structure of justice,the scope of the study is limited to a "strictly obey the law by the state," and limited to a "welt-organized society".He was not involved in any system and the policy of reality,only using a virtual or abstract way to make a number of solutions for the problem of the recommendations and he hopes it can provide the basic theory of justice for reality.Therefore,it was his theory that called "Utopia" type of theory;as a jurist,Dworkin,although he is not like Rawls who resolves the issue of equal rights far away.Unfortunately,within the framework of the United States such a capitalist society the system,he just can use a realistic way to find solutions for the equal rights of the problem established.Therefore,fundamentally speaking,the equality theory of rights of Ra wls and Dworkin are limited,and not thoroughly.Comparatively speaking, we believe that the Marxist' ideology of equal rights is the true guiding ideology of realization the equal rights' and the powerful ideological wea pon! Why I have such a conclusion is that Marxism' equal rights is full of these characteristics such as the critical,revolutionary,practical and sc ientific.For example,the equal rights problem of private ownership were serious interrogated by Marx.Marx said that the private ownership' equal rights in the Private ownership society especially the capitalist society,is only on the surface of equality,formal equality and this equality is onlya "false consciousness." Only changing private ownership society can weent er into communism at last which is in order to achieve real sense,substa ntive equality of rights.Here,the author compares the equal rights of the Marxist' ideology with the Rawls and Dworkin'one which enable us to understand more clearly the nature features of Marxist' ideology of equal rights.Meanwhile,it further highlights inherent vitality of the equal rights of Marxism in the ideological contemporaryMarxist theory is a developing scientific theory.Advancing with the times is also regarded as the quality of Marxist' equal rights theory.Marxist'ideology of equal rights help us analyze and solve the problems of inequalities which are came up in China's transition;for that,it has great guiding significance.
