Study On Lenin's Thought Of Equality

Lenin's thought of equality is to inherit the equality thought of Marxism, and it is also a very scientific theoretical combination of the Soviet practice in socialism building. This article traces the development process of Lenin's equality thought in the period of Russian Assets Class Revolution and the Socialism Construction, and does a summary in theory. It contains three parts:In the first part, it illustrates the historical background and theoretical origin. Lenin's thought of equality was born in nineteen century; in this period, the western capitalist countries'productivity has been greatly improved by the rapid development of science and technology. The main western capitalist countries has finished industrialization and entered in the stage of monopoly capitalism; this period is also the rapid period of world economic crisis, during1970s and early twentieth century, the western capitalist countries has exploded severe economic crisis for five times. The landscape of western capitalistic polity has been changed by new development of technology, science and economic. Inequalities have become increasingly prominent, in order to fight for equal rights, people in these capitalist countries have set off political movements on striving for universal suffrage, which also contributed to the rapid development of workers'movement in the western capitalist countries in the end of nineteen century; at the same time, the rough realism has also put a huge challenge to Marxism. In the late nineteen century, Russia was under the dominion of tsarist, although it has experienced the secondary industry revolution, Russia was essentially a semi-feudal country. Monopoly capitalists were in collusion with autocratic government and foreign capital; people lived in cruel exploitation, which aroused the dissatisfaction of people, especially the working-class. Under the guidance of Marxism, the worker's movement in Russia has got great progress in the last decades in nineteen century. Lenin's thought of equality has its own profound theoretical origin. It originates from the inheritance and criticism of western equality ideology, but also the inheritance and development of the equality ideology of Marx and Engels, this paper explores the development of modern western equality ideology, which is from the establishment of the modern western concepts of equality to the Paris Commune Revolution's practice of equality, all these have provided a very precious theoretical wealth and practice experience to the foundation of Lenin's equality thought. Marx and Engels'thought of equality differ from any kind of theory of equality in history, which is based on the historical materialism, using historical and economic analysis method; it elaborates the concept of proletarian equality and communist ideal of equality by criticizing and discarding all the old concepts of equality in human history. It is the first time to put this equality ideology on the basis of science, Marx and Engels'view the connotation of perspective above the pure philosophy and practical philosophy, jumping out of the simple care and concern of philosophy theory, focusing on the social practice, and accomplishing three important promotions of connotation of equality. Marx and Engels'ideology of equality is the main origin of Lenin's.The second part of this paper is about the main content of Lenin's thought of equality. In this part, the author divides Lenin's ideology of equality into different objects, including Lenin's economic equality ldeology, Lenin's ideology of political equality, and ethnic equality ideology of Lenin, Lenin's ideology of female equality, Lenin's equality ideology of education, and the idea of equality in diplomatism. At the beginning of this article, the author analyzes on the scientific connotation of Lenin's equality ideology, which is the basis of the study of Lenin's thought of equality. The October revolution of Russian is a very important turning point in history, so as to the development of Lenin's thought. The main task and advanced way of Lenin' equality thought in the period of Revolution and Socialism Construction are totally different, when the author starts to research on it, all these factors are taken into account. Before the October Revolution, Lenin's thought of equality focused on the regime of Tsarist Russian, and the criticism of inequalities in capitalist countries, and the scientific analysis of inequalities'origin, which emphasized the significant meaning of building a systematical ideology of equality for the socialist party and the proletarian revolution; after the October Revolution of Russian, what Lenin faced was to carry on the construction of equality in socialist countries. Soviet Russia is the first socialist state in the world, both the utopian socialists and Marx Engels, the ideology of socialist equality they have made that were mainly about theoretical research, the objective historical environment did not give them opportunities to participate in construction of equality in socialist country, which is a big challenge to Lenin, and it is also the greatest significance of Lenin's thought of equality. Lenin's practice of socialist building in Soviet was both on the inheritance of Marxism's equality ideology and the consistent practical experience of objective environment in Soviet Russia. On the early days of Soviet Russia, the new-born socialist regime was built on the sand; and the economy in Russia had also been seriously damaged in the war, in this period, according to his thought of equality and realistic environment, Lenin chose to take pragmatic and proper measures for socialist construction, instead of achieving the complete equalities what the communism theory demands in a very short time; after Soviet's socialist construction was established with stability, in the following period, Lenin emphasized the significant meaning of achieving equalities for socialist construction, and managed to take effective measures, tried to promote socialist construction in all aspects.The third part is about the historical position and contemporary value of Lenin's equality ideology. In this part, the author summarizes the magnificent historical status of Lenin's thought of equality, emphasizes the importance of equality ideology in Leninism, and certainly affirms the inheritance and development of equality ideology of Marxism. Then followed by the contemporary value of Lenm's though of equality, in the view of the author, equality is the most basic value in pursuit for socialism, socialistic pursuit of equality practice after Lenin had suffered terrible setbacks, due to his successor didn't understand the scientific connotation of Lenin's ideology of equality, instead of taking the implementation of egalitarianism in economy, and pushing dogmatic tyranny in policy. The Communist Party of China assimilated experiences and lessons from Soviet's setback timely, opened a new chapter in the Reform and Opening-up. So far it has more than thirty years; nowadays in China, the social issues of inequalities become a major problem that we focus on again, according to the guidance of Lenin's thought of equality, it also has great effects on constructions of Chinese characteristic socialistic equality.
