On The Thought Of Harmonious Society In The Communist Manifesto

Harmonious society is one of the basic values in the Marxist thoughts of the future ideal society. The publication of the great work The Communist Manifesto marks the theoretical formation of the Marxist thoughts of harmonious society. This thought was put forward under the background of unharmonious capitalist society at the time, by criticizing and absorbing the utopian socialist values on harmonious society. It has experienced three historical stages from germination through development to establishment. Harmonious society is a specific historical concept, namely a given historical state with its aim at the elimination of class and class antagonism. It has characterized by three major elements:the construction of communism as the ultimate standard, the emancipation of the productive forces and the achievement of human freedom and all-around development. The achievable path for building such a harmonious society is to launch the proletarian revolution and ensure the leadership of communist parties. The Manifesto marks the formation of the Marxist thoughts of harmonious society which play an important role in the Marxist theory. As the ultimate goal and the topmost value in the Marxist theory, this thought provides the scientific guidance for the socialist movements and the socialist construction all around the world. Also, it is the theoretical origin for constructing the socialist harmonious society with Chinese characteristics. Nowadays, this thought is still scientific and instructive as a whole. However, as times change and conditions vary, it should be regarded in a realistic and evolutionary way. Besides, it is a universal scientific truth so that it should be insisted on as a guiding role and realized under the conditions of China.
