A Comparison Of "class Politics" And "discourse Politics"

Marx's class theory is a complete and rigorous scientific system.Marx clearly expressed that the structure of the class depends on the specific situation of the stage of production development.In class society,class is an objective existence,there is class struggle,class theory is precisely with the continuous development of struggle practice needs.The indisputable fact of historical development after the Second World War is that the social material productive forces have developed to a certain stage,which has made some adjustments in capitalist relations of production.The number of the working class,the way of work,the quality education and so on have changed greatly,the western society may raise the working class In the middle class,the structure becomes more and more complicated.In this case,some post-Marxist scholars,represented by Laclau and Murphy,believe that the working class as an organized force no longer exists.They sought a form of revolution adapted to the development of late capitalism.They returned from Marx's class politics to identity politics and advocated the micro-political revolution of “discourse theory”.The main work of this paper is based on the historical background of the evolution of Marx's theory of “class politics” to“discourse politics” by Laclau and Murphy,which tries to explain Marx's “class politics” and Laclau and Mo Phi's “discourse theory ”.This paper is divided into three parts: the first part mainly reflects the logical construction process of Marx's “class politics” from the primary stage of socialism to the advanced stage of “real community” operation mode.The main content of this section discusses that as long as the working class operates on the basis of private ownership of the means of production,they can not get rid of the rule of things and can not take into account the development of people themselves.Only by abolishing the private ownership of the bourgeoisie and restoring the active role of human practice in the activities of object can we constantly embody the comprehensiveness of humanbeings and finally achieve the mutual construction and mutual construction between human beings and the community.The second part mainly discusses in the west left At the crossroads of the wing movement,Laclau and Murphy dared to put forward their radical democratic political theory,advocating from “class politics” to “discourse politics”,in essence,deconstructing the traditional Marxist “essentialism”,and then constructing the struggle strategy of radical pluralistic democracy based on “discourse”.The third part studies the discourse theory of Laclau and Murphy from four angles of political subject,political goal,political plan and political concept,which has certain reference significance for the new change of Marxism and the development of new form.In fact,the theory of “discourse politics” put forward by Laclau and Murphy is conservative.We must always Under the guidance of contemporary value of Marxism,we can accurately grasp the new viewpoints,methods and conclusions of post-Marxism.
