Development Of The Stage Theory Of Communism Development

The stage theory of communism development is an important part of Marx,Engels and Lenin's theory.It is one of the foundations for socialist countries to locate their own social development stages and formulate corresponding development ideas.And it is the specific application and reflection of historical materialism in the practice of national development.Marx divided the development stage of communism into the first stage,the advanced stage and the transition stage in his critique of the gotha program.Marx used the law of the development of human society to describe the characteristics of the different stages of the development of communist society.At the first stage,the social ownership of the means of production,the distribution according to work,and the “two separations”are implemented.In the advanced stage,the productive forces will be highly developed.The society will realize the distribution according to people's ability and needs.And the state will eventually disappear completely.In the transitional period,the proletarians of the world unite to realize the dictatorship of the proletariat,and so on.With the establishment of the first socialist country in the world,Lenin inherited and innovated Marx's theory on the development stage of communism through the fresh experience he summarized in the practice of leading the Russian revolution and construction,and put forward many principled ideas on the development and construction of socialist society.It not only enriched the connotation of the first stage of communism and named the first stage of communism as socialist society,but also proposed that the construction of socialism has a long term and several stages.At the same time,Lenin initiated the road of the stage construction of the communist society,and put forward the socialist construction strategic conception of the trinity of politics,economy and culture.In addition,it gives new contents to the relationship between socialism and capitalism in the special period,such as practicing state capitalism,learning the advanced science and technology of western capitalist countries,and so on.The theory of the development stage of communism makes a new theoretical contribution to the historical materialism founded by Marx,lays a scientific foundation for the proposal of the theory of the primary stage of socialism,provides a strong spiritual force for the people to firmly believe that communism will inevitably come true,and provides a theoretical basis for China to formulate and implement the correct line and policies.As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,it is of great theoretical value to study and comprehend the valuable thoughts of the classic marxist writers,and it is of great practical guiding significance to the modernization drive of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
