A Study Of Marx's Concept Of Equality And Its Practical Significance In The "Critique Of Gotha Program"

"Critique of Gotha Program" is a guiding literature about the international communist movement,and also an important work for Marx to conceive the future society in his later years.Marx has a more mature thinking about the development stage,nature and feature of the Communist society.The criticism of Lasalism is the content that this work presents to the readers directly.In addition,we should also notice that Marx first proposed the concept of two stages of development of Communist society in this process,and pointed out the realistic path to equality,which is an important sign of the maturity of Marx's concept of equality.The biggest characteristic of Marx's concept of equality in the mature period is that it is not only critical,but also constructive.Generally speaking,Marx believed that equality is not an eternal truth,but a historical category limited by the development level of productive forces.If we want to see the essence of equality,we need to study the material production root behind it.Equality as a bourgeois legal concept will withdraw from the stage of history as humanity enters a communist society with highly developed productive forces.This paper studies Marx's concept of equality and its practical significance in the period of "Critique of Gotha Program" by means of literature study,systematic analysis and the combination of theory and practice.Excerpt from the "Introduction",this paper is divided into three chapters:Chapter 1: To break the interpretation of a single text,to examine the historical generation of Marx's concept of equality during the "Critique of Gotha Program".Through the exploration of the development and continuous development of Marx's concept of equality before the "Critique of Gotha Program",this paper clarifies how Marx's concept of equality was established in the mature period,and how the concept of equality before maturity went through the ideological transformation process,so as to lay a solid foundation for summarizing Marx's concept of equality.Chapter 2: To carry out a comprehensive,systematic and in-depth study of Marx's concept of equality in the period of "Critique of Gotha Program",which is the key chapter of this paper.Through sorting out Marx's profound criticism on thetheoretical viewpoints of Lasalism,such as "equal rights","no compromise of labor income" and "fair distribution",this paper explores the internal logic of Marx's criticism on the equal outlook of Lasalism,constructs the main viewpoints of Marx's equality outlook,and grasps Marx's thinking The proletarian position on the issue of equality is to deepen the understanding of Marx's concept of equality.Chapter 3: To explore the focus of Marx's concept of equality,China's practice and practical significance.Based on the new situation and new problems in human society,we should actively respond to the doubts about the possibility of "each according to his ability,distribution according to his needs" and meet the challenges of Marx's concept of equality in contemporary times.On the basis of confirming the scientificalness of Marx's concept of equality,we should look at China's equal practice from the perspective of Marx's concept of equality,and explore the practical significance of Marx's concept of equality for China's equal practice.
