As the most basic unit of the political entity,the modernly sovereign state plays an increasingly vital part in the world stage as an independently political personality.This paper targets at clarifying the exact relationship between the civil society and the concept of state and its theoretical origin in Marx national theory.This paper principally focuses on the basic content of Marx national theory,trying to provide a firmly theoretical ground for the cause of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics.The first part of this paper pays attention to the inheritance and development of Marx's concept of civil society based on Hegel's concept of rational state.Hegel was the first philosopher to advance the concept of civil society in the modern significance.He analyzed and proposed the dichotomy between the state and civil society from an economic point of view.He believed that the state,as the next link of civil society,is bound to supplement and regulate the internal defects that cannot be solved by civil society itself to some extent,so that individuals can get the unity of their universality and particularity in the state.Marx inherited the economics context of Hegel's civil society.From the angle of realistically material production,Marx argued that civil society determines the state,and further criticized Hegel's rational view of the state in terms of constitutional monarchy,bureaucracy and hierarchical parliament.What's more,the way that Marx and Hegel in order to achieve human liberation is different.The former is committed to the return of society,while the latter hopes for the manifestation of rationality.The second part of this article principally discusses systematically the ideas of Marx on the origin,essence,function and extinction of the state.The initial aim of the community was to safeguard the general interests of all its members.However,with the emergence of three basically social divisions and private ownership,different social classes emerged.The economically dominant class began to seek a dominant position in a wide range of fields,which requires an organization that is ostensibly above society to participate in the arbitration of social affairs impartially and objectively,and to perfect the infrastructure of medical treatment,education,literature and art and the construction of people's livelihood with “popular hypocrisy” to maintain the social production and life within a certain order.Therefore,the state is,by its very nature,a tool of class domination.Marx believed that the bourgeois state was a false community because it could not solve the inherent defects of civil society itself in a radical manner.The bourgeoisie applied the natural law of the jungle to every aspect of the national society.The vast majority of people were repeating high-intensity physical labor,but the fruits of their labor were grabbed by capitalists.The workers' meager wages could only maintain their physical survival,and they lost their dignity and freedom that they were born with.The essence of the state contains the dual functions of the state,but also comprises the demise of the state at the same time.The ruling class achieves the class rule via the functions of the government's political rule.With the development of productive forces,class has become a new constraint condition,and the elimination of class implies the self-extinction of the country.In addition,the government also via the performance of its public management functions to alleviate social contradictions and maintain the stability of social production and life,which is the brightest appearance of the government.The third part of this paper elaborates the contemporary value and significance of Marx national theory,primarily focusing on the dictatorship of the proletariat,the communist revolutionary movement and the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The present stage in China is the dictatorship of the proletariat.As a country in an atypically transitional sense,the Chinese government's initially political ruling function has occupied too much space for social self-operation and management,which requires the country to strengthen and perfect the basic livelihood construction and further streamline administration and delegate power.It is worth noting that the socially self-management mechanisms in China are not mature enough and the relevantly legal systems are not perfect enough.It is still indispensable to continue to strengthen the dominantly core position of the Communist Party of China.Certainly,the government should impose certain regulation and supervision as the final supplement to the autonomous management of the society.All in all,Marx national theory is not dogmatic design of specific national policies and measures in textbooks.The government must always stick to the theme of the times and the realistic needs of the people's liberation,break away from all sorts of obstacles of mechanisms and the ideological pattern of the binary opposition between the government and the society in the past,integrate into the consideration of Chinese characteristics and the actual situation of the local areas,implement the benign interaction between a strong government and a strong society,actively promote the progress of China's modernization,and thus accelerate the realization of everyone's free and all-round development.
