The bourgeoisie is bound to perish and the proletariat is bound to triumph.As a scientific assertion put forward by Marx and Engels,it is an important content of the basic principles of Marxism and a historical trend of the development of human society.However,the capitalist camp led by the United States is still not only the mainstream of the world,but also frequently and aggressively launched conflicts and provoked disputes with the socialist camp led by China.The abundance of material wealth,the "silence" of the masses of people and the stagnation of social change have fueled the arrogance and arrogance of capitalism.However,are there hidden secrets under the seemingly prosperous and prosperous scene of capitalism? Why did the masses of people repressed and exploited mercilessly by capitalism not rise up and the revolution became "silent" ? What exactly caused the stagnation of the transition from capitalist society to socialist society?Marcuse answered from the unique perspective of human inner needs.In "One-Way Man",he proposed the distinction between real needs and false needs to criticize the morbidity and crisis hidden in the prosperity of the developed industrial society.In "One-Dimensional Man",he put forward the distinction between real needs and false needs to criticize developed industrial society.Marcuse believes that during the development of capitalist modernization,science and technology have changed the production and consumption modes of developed industrial societies,which have met people's material needs to a certain degree,while stimulating higher-levelmaterial needs.Make people's struggle for survival in an eternal state,forcing people to continuously pursue higher and newer material needs.People whose material needs are satisfied are lost in false happiness.They are unable to distinguish between false needs and real needs.They are no longer wise men seeking political emancipation or even human liberation,but fools who are numbly pursuing higher and newer material needs.They are no longer wise men who seek political emancipation and even human emancipation,but fools who numbly pursue higher and newer material needs.In order to avoid the destruction of the existing "happy life",they no longer criticize social injustice,but instead blindly support society.People who gradually lose their ability to criticize society become slaves of industrial civilization.The same is true of the working class that Marx had high hopes for.The loss of the determining power of social change has caused social change to stagnate.The article insists on taking Marcuse's literature as the research field of vision.First,it systematically explains the process of presenting Marcuse 's false needs theory,elaborates the era background and theoretical sources of the false needs theory,and realizes the history of Marcuse 's false needs theory.Inspection.Secondly,it focuses on the basic content of Marcuse's theory of false needs.What is the basic connotation of false need? How to define the real need as opposed to the false need?What kind of harm does false need cause? How to deal with and overcome false needs?Finally,objectively analyze Marcuse's theory of false needs,not only attach importance to its positive impact,but also face its negative effects,and discuss the era value of false needs theory from the two aspects of capitalism and socialism with Chinese characteristics.Then try to realize the historical investigation of Marcuse's false need theory,try to realize the systematic interpretation of Marcuse's false need theory,and try to realize the value of Marcuse's false need theory.
