The Platforms Change Of Germany SPD’s Transformation

Germany’s Social Democratic Party had gradually transformed into the reformist party, catch-all party and election party during more than 100 years. The three transition was marked by three newly issued platforms. Therefore, this paper tried to make objective evaluations and conclusions from the perspective of the changing platforms, and elaborate its realistic enlightenment for the Chinese ruling Communist Party from the point of platforms change.The SPD draw up seven platforms.’Godesberg Program’ was the sign of the first transformation, and it made the SPD became the ruling party successfully. The second was’Berlin Program’transferred into election party. As a result, Schroeder’s ’New Middle Way’ failed. The third one ’Hamburg platform’ returned to the Left. But the modern SPD has tendency to the new liberalism which was dangerous and belongs to the modern bourgeois right-wing ideology. Judging the transformation success by how many voters and whether the party won the election, which was the most direct standard. There was an inevitable problem that what’s the relationship between transformation and the Marxism, the paper would give an answer from text theory and political party practice. So the conclusion was the Marxism had weaken and even disappeared. And the transformation was necessary in the view of development. But the Social Democrats were pragmatic and denied the divergence of Marxism.The Chinese Communist Party could take lessons of the successes and failures from that platforms and transformation. Generally speaking, the SPD was a political party which was keeping pace with the times and good at self-reflection, and would probably be in power in the future with a long transitional road.
