Fairness thoughts is a very important part in Marx's thoughts. It is useful to uncover the complete picture of the Marx's fairness thoughts that we discuss the connotation, extension, rationale and development history of Marx's fairness thoughts. Moreover, we can research its location in the past and value its contemporary meaning in order to serve the socialist construction.Marx's fairness thoughts have very deep scientific connotation. Karl Marx always emphasized that fairness was historic and relative. It can be deduced that social fairness is decided by mode of production according to the theory of Marx through which productivity determines relations of production and social being determine the social consciousness. In Karl Marx's opinion, all the class societies have unfairness; therefore proletarian revolution is necessary to over-turn domination of the capitalist class. So, it is the only way to realize the fairness that elimination of classes. Communistic society may be absolute fairness. In that society, it has no possession of material, no country and no any organization. Then, it can realize the equalities of economy and politics. It can eliminate the difference because of division of labor.There are many thoughts, past and present, have been the source of fairness thoughts of Marx. And his fairness thoughts can be divided three parts from early years to late years. This theory is based on unfairness of economy and politics in reality. The coexistence of amassing of wealth and increasing of poverty, the opposing of the proletariat and the capitalist class can show that. The sources of the theory are the fairness thoughts of classic, liberalism, Hegel and Feuerbach,utopian socialism, and so on. Marx's fairness theory can be divided into three stages by the period of "Rhine" and "Paris". In the three stages, Karl Marx can be described as three roles, which are fighter for democracy, humanitarian of fairness and rebuilder of historical materialism.There are three divisions of fairness theory of Marx, economic fairness thoughts, political fairness thoughts and moral fairness thoughts. The division of economy is about the nature of unfairness of capitalist production, which deduced from the relationship between the labor and economy. This unfairness can be revealed by investigation of the owning goods. The main idea of politics fairness is about political rights, so wiping off the privilege level is the way to this fairness. Marx's fairness in moral pays close attention to human fate and the liberty is ultimate pursuing in this kind fairness. In fact, the three thoughts all serve to realize the same goal:freedom and liberty of human beings.Assessing the value of Marx's fairness thoughts is very important for us to learn from them. It was significant in Marx's time and it reflected the profound theory of Marx, but it hands down some riddles now. Marx's fairness theory is challenged by the justice of Rolls and the different understanding about fairness of Western Marxism. Nowadays, Marx's thoughts of fairness not only can be used to help the realization of harmonious society, but also can supply us the direction and impetus through describing the ultimate ideal.
