The Revolution Triple Variation

For Chen Duxiu, not only the experience of the cooperation between CCP and KMT, but the dilemma in the period of revolution formulated his painful memory and knowledge basis. The failure of China's revolution which Comintern directed, Moscow's leaders brutally shifting off their responsibility, all of them made Chen Duxiu with effect of reverse psychology gradually turn to Trotsky, who was as opposition in the AUCP(B). However, Trotsky nearly had the similar opinion and policy like Chen Duxiu's during the China's revolution and the evolution of his idea of China's revolution turned back to the theory of permanent revolution once he had.Certainly , Chen Duxiu not easily embraced Trotsky's ideas from the perceptual level but had his own thinking, including the attribute and future of the revolution , the ways and tactics of the revolution and the formation of its momentum . They became the focus of Chen Duxiu's observations. The failure of revolution and the similar of their ideas made Chen Duxiu look himself as a Trotskyist. Agreed with the Trotsky's theory and personal emotion, Chen Duxiu thought Trotskysim as beacon to direct him. The need of ideology and systematical revolutionary theory speeded Chen Duxiu's reception process with his addiction of Trotskyism.With the acceptance of Trotskyism, Chen Duxiu made use of it as the ideological weapon to battle CCP Central's status and initiated a complete set of policy and tactics on China's revolution. A group of former CCP's members also embraced the Trotskyism, the mutual function and identity promoted the factional activities.Undoubtly, CCP Central and the Comintern could not bear this movement. As the end of tripartite mutual activities, Chen Duxiu was expelled from CCP and he went through the same outcome of Trotsky, meanwhile, he took the same path of Trotsky and inevitably encountered the same dilemma which Trotsky did.Trotsky's radical advocate including establishment of soviet and the dictatorship of the proletariat was different from Chen Duxiu's objective and pragmatic opinion. Chen Duxiu's acceptance of the Trotskyism was related to his nearing perception toward Trotsky after the failure of revolution, and at a certain level, this could be said a kind of misread of one-sided wish. During Chen Duxiu's later years, he again exiled any doctrine.The historical investigation on Chen Duxiu ,Trotsky and opposition during the age of great revolution can help us recognize a lot of domestic and international factor which limited CCP's revolution in early years, the historical context of profound thought conflicting in the revolutionary period, moreover, the arduousness and intricacy of revolutionaries'pursuing the truth.
