The Change Of Thinking Of Chinese Intellectuals In The Early 20th Century

The early 20th century was an important period for the transformation of Chinese intellectuals’ ideas.Many western political system theories entered China through the spread of overseas scholars.Among them,there was anarchism,that is,social and political thoughts that denied all state power and class struggle.This doctrine was introduced to China through two channels: Europe and Japan.Chinese anarchists inherited the basic ideas of Proudhon,Bakunin,and Kropotkin,and actively carried out propaganda and practice of anarchism.With the development of Chinese anarchists’ practical activities,the fantasy and hypocrisy of anarchism theory are gradually exposed by intellectuals.Since the anarchist ideology is divorced from China’s reality and social reality,and its practice ended in failure,everyone began to rethink:Where is the Chinese revolution going under realistic conditions? What kind of doctrine is more in line with the actual needs of the Chinese revolution? At this time,because the establishment of the workers’ regime in Russia opened a new path for domestic system choices,after some lectures by some international politicians and scholars,some intellectuals in China began to learn Marxism,and the first batch of Marxists appeared After that,the audience of this doctrine began to expand from university youth groups to workers in society,and specialized organizations appeared in some cities.In the process of theoretical dissemination and organizational construction,because of some key political issues,it is inevitable to launch academic disputes with Marxism.Through the open debate,some advanced intellectuals began to have a deep reflection on the current anarchy,and then began a systematic study of Marxist theory,and finally gradually turned to Marxism in combination with China’s political environment and social reality.It can be said that it is precisely because of the criticism of many advanced intellectuals that Marxism has received attention,and it is precisely because of the careful analysis of Marxist doctrines by scholars that the Chinese intellectuals have been found through the debate to find the correct path of the Chinese revolution,so that Marxism has gained Further development.
