| The theory of the stages of socialist development was formed by Marx and Engels and subsequent Marxists in the process of founding the theory of scientific socialism and exploring the practice of socialist revolution,and has been continuously developed and enriched in line with the actual socialist revolution and construction in various countries,and is an important part of the theory of scientific socialism.The scientific theory of the stages of socialist development is the basic theoretical basis for guiding socialist countries to identify the stage of social development they are in and to formulate the corresponding socialist construction lines,guidelines and policies on this basis.It is of great theoretical significance for us to deepen our understanding of the laws of human social development,socialist construction and communist rule,to enrich and develop the materialist concept of history,and to advance Marxist theory with the times,and for us to better adhere to the basic line of the primary stage of socialism,advance the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Marx and Engels used the materialistic concept of history to scientifically explain the laws of the evolution of social forms,and on the basis of a profound dissection of the basic contradictions of capitalist society and the developed capitalist reality in Western Europe,they made a genius discussion of the future communist society,dividing it into the "first stage" and the "advanced stage"."This provided the basic theoretical guidance for the socialist revolution and construction of later countries.The evolution of the theory of the stages of socialist development over the past 170 years has fully demonstrated the historical dialectic in which the theory of scientific socialism and the practice of socialist construction have mutually promoted each other.For contemporary China,a deep understanding of this historical dialectic means that in the practice of socialist construction,we must always adhere to the requirements of the development of advanced productive forces,always respond to the people’s aspirations for a better life,always base ourselves on China’s specific national conditions,accurately anchor our historical position,scientifically formulate the routes and policies for each stage,and vigorously promote practical innovation in socialist construction while advancing socialist theory with the times.We will also promote practical innovations in socialist construction. |
