When it comes to division of labor in the past,people always regard it as a form of collaboration for labor and concern about its effectiveness in improving productivity.National economics is no exception,which focus on the study of national wealth and does not realize that the division of labor of capitalism under the capitalist private ownership.This division of labor has been different from the general form of social division of labor.It collects the wealth of the bourgeoisie,but caused the poverty in the working class.Workers in this form of division went one-sided extremely,however,the national economics has been defended it,mixing the concept of capitalist labor division with general form of social labor division,its purpose is to protect the capitalist private ownership and to guarantee the interests of the bourgeoisie.Marx saw the differences of the division of labor in different social stages and drawbacks of capitalist private ownership;he claimed labor division featuring capitalism in private ownership differs from the general form of division of labor.A general form of division of labor is the common labor cooperation,which developed productive forces and improved degree of people freedom;while capitalist labor division appeared in capitalist private ownership,it made people one-sided,alienated,that is what Marx criticized.Then Marx has assured that the destructive roots of capitalist division of labor lies in the capitalist private ownership.It is that the private ownership of capitalism leads to the unequal concentration of capital,concentration of workers,production tools and raw materials,which lays the material foundation for the capitalist division of labor.The capitalist private ownership not only caused alienation of people,but also made this kind of people accumulate private property,like the capitalists occupied the remaining value of workers illegally under the protection of capitalist private ownership.Marx criticized the private ownership to tell this from social division of labor.The distinction of forms of division of labor and the criticism of private ownership made by Marx make us understand the whole picture of division of labor in a historical and realistic way.In reality,China has been implementing the socialist market economy;it encourages the development of non-public economy,including private economy in the domination of public ownership.So the issue how we can make use of private economy and avoid the harmfulness of the capitalist division of is important in reality.In theory,Marx's exposition of the drawbacks of private ownership shows that the removal of property private ownership is the inevitable choice.We can extend Marx's criticism of private ownership and discuss the possibility of removing the private ownership and the its meaning in theory.
