Belgium is a small country in northwest Europe and was one of the few constitutional monarchies on the European continent at the time.Thanks to its relatively civilised political system and the fact that some aspects of its economy are doing well,it has become what Berlin politicians and the Kollen Zeitung call a "model country".However,its barbaric and shameful practices,as well as the socio-economic facts of extreme poverty,are extremely inconsistent with the glorious image of a "model country".Marx and Engels deeply exposed and criticized the falseness of Belgium's "model country".The first part of the paper introduces the formation background of Marx and Engels' Belgian social critical thought.First of all,Belgium was occupied and ruled by foreigners before independence,and the realization of bourgeois power after independence and the unstable balance of power encountered in the course of development for fifty years were discussed and analyzed.Secondly,it discusses and analyzes the practical basis and realistic basis of Marx and Engels' social critical thought of Belgium.The second part of the paper expounds the main content of Marx and Engels' Belgian social criticism thought.First of all,it revealed a series of barbaric acts,such as the cruel persecution of foreigners and the massacre of the workers who went on strike legally,under the cloak of the civilized system in Belgium.The second is an in-depth analysis of the reality of Belgium,exposing the illusion of a "model state" in which the enviable political system is merely a gold-plated framework for serious economic reality.Again,Revelations about tiny Belgium's powerful army and its "brilliant record" of turning sharp knives on its own workers.Finally,it analyzes and discusses the neutral policy that Belgium pursues which does more harm than good.The third part of the thesis analyzes the essence and contribution of Marx and Engels' Belgian social critical thought.The essence of Marx and Engels' Belgian social critical thought is to expose and criticize the falsity of bourgeois democracy.The contribution of Marx and Engels' Belgian social critical thought is first of all to expose the profiteering essence of money supremacy of the bourgeoisie.Secondly,it provides methodological enlightenment for understanding and grasping Marxist social development theory deeply.It is to provide beneficial inspiration for the real development again.From a comprehensive view of the whole Marxist theory,criticism runs through it from beginning to end.As a part of Marx and Engels' grand thought system,Marx and Engels' thoughts on Belgian social criticism provide methodological enlightenment for the profound study and understanding of Marxist social development theory.Needless to say,it is worth studying and grasping.In addition,a profound study of Marx and Engels' thoughts on Belgium's social criticism will undoubtedly help to inspire beneficial thinking on the development and construction of the real society.Therefore,the profound study and research of this thought has important theoretical significance and practical value.
