Marx’s ethics thought contains the profound enlightenment and the distinct humanitarian spirit. It is permeated with unique temperament on theory. Fundamentally, Marxist theory is a kind of theory of justice that pursuits equality, freedom, and the development of person and a declaration of humanitarian with practice, and a great guide of human liberation and freedom through the path of system to realize. Marx’s ethics thought’ practice path is to reform social system, and institutional ethics becomes a fundamental dimension of revealing marxist ethics thought.Marx’s experience about his creation of theory and social practice show that the trajectory of system ethics thought can be divided into three basic stages:the first is the influence of the enlightenment. Marx adolescent was influence by the enlightenment deeply. After high school, until college and as newspaper editor, looked the country of rationality and the legal system as a basic way of realization of freedom. The second is the reflection of practical experience. Marx strarted from solveing "the difficult to comment on the so-called material benefit", focusing on the influence that economic relations on politics and legal system and drawed the conclusion that the economic system which is equal is the fundamental way to liberate people. The third is the pursuit of ideals. After a long period of theoretical study and social practice, Marx thought that the material conditions of the development of productive forces and the institutional condition of political democracy and economic equality were the practical basis in implementing the comprehensive and free development of everyone, and the alliance people liberated was the final destination of human.Through the system construction to make political power and social wealth become social forces by which everyone can possess their own nature, eliminateing all sorts of alienation phenomenon, realizeing the comprehensive and free development of everyone, various social basic system has to be assigned to the basic principles of freedom, equality, development, democracy, the people’s liberation and freedom are looked as the fundamental goal of social basic system.Correctly understanding and treating the thoughts of Marx’s system ethical is the precondition for the development and the practice of thoughts of Marx’s system ethical. Marx explicitly pointed out that the communist movement is a kind of realistic movement and a process so as to realize man’s complete liberation in capitalist society on the basis of the political preliminary liberation pursuiting social liberation. Therefore, Marx’s treatment of political liberation and social liberation and capitalist society, insist on the attitudes and views of criticism, development and sublation. His moral thought and its institutional ethics thoughts is complement each other, and the former has the characteristics of refering to practice and individual standard. Free individuality and free the consortium are looked as a vision of the future better social conditions. The goal of Marx institutional ethics thought points to reality that comprise both the utilitarian of man’s all-round development and the justice representing equality, freedom and democracy of the people. Marx’s system ethical thoughts is treated Correctly which the ideas must adhere to the attitudes and ideas of criticism, sublation and development for theory and social reality like Marx, rather than dogmatism, intolerance, superficial approach. Marx’s thought in Marx himself was considered as progressive, open and practical. The successors study, understand, adhere to and practise Marx’s thoughts, as Marx, insisting on this kind of attitude and opinion. Only on the whole, fundamentally, grasping the essence of Marx’s system ethics, correctly understanding and treating marxism institutional ethics thoughts, can we truly practise the basic principles of Marx system ethics thoughts and achieve the basic goal of Marx’s system ethics.To achieve the basic goal of Marx’s system ethics, a certain conditions of reality are needed. In these realistic conditions, the abundant development of productivity provids the material basis and equal economic system as well as the real freedom, equality, and democratic in political system and fair legal system are the social condition, and common personal rational mature and moral development, as a result, the formation of the culture of justice, is the condition of humanity. These three kinds of realistic conditions promote and have interdependence each other, mutualy promote the implementation of basic principle and the realization of ultimate goal from marxis’ the ethics of system. Developed the material conditions laid a solid material foundation for human perceptual satisfy of desire, a mature rational and moral development more generally, as a result, the formation of culture of justice, for establishment and maintainment of social system of justice. The social system of justice forms the powerful guarantee for creating rich material conditions, for the fair distribution of wealth and all rights acquired, for the all-round development of human beings including mature rational and moral development. More common personal mature rationality and moral development and the formation of the culture of justice provides the inexhaustible strength, for establishment, maintenance and development of society system of justice, for production, creation of all material conditions the realization of human nature needed. The process of realizeing Marx’s fundamental goal in ethics of system is the process of promotion and construction of these realistic conditions.This process is finished through a variety of effective path of practice. Under the condition of capitalist society, Marx’s practice path of institutional ethics thought, firstly is to realize national political system reforms through proletarian class struggle and political revolution, in turn to create the economic system in which society possess and govern production data and to improve the true freedom, equality, and democratic political system and fair legal system. In peaceful or violent way, reforming the all institutions of capitalism through political and legal ways is a basic road in performing Marx’s thought of system ethics. Freedom, equality, democracy and justice, are some basic requirements for political and legal system in "each individual’s comprehensive and free development as the basic principles of the social form" and some given basic principles of political and legal system. This basic requirement and the basic principles are also given the economy system and the purpose is to make social wealth no longer as a kind social force of alienation of oppression and exploitation, the enslaved people but as a kind one of getting the comprehensive and free development of everyone in the society. In particular, the country transit to communism from preceding the social forms on capitalist social form directly which should pay attention to the political liberation and social liberation as the two dimensions of the people liberation, the independent value of the political democracy, law justice and the practical significance of the economic equality and the inner relation between them. Through democratic political system and fair legal system, implementation, maintenance and development of the equality of economic system could be obtained. on the basis of equality in the economic system, innovation of democratic political system and fair legal system could be proceeded constantly. For economic system, whether private or public ownership, or a mixture of both, according to real condition, can be the particular form in which social wealth are governed and shared by everyone equally. Democratic politics and law of justice, especially the constitutional system, are the typical governance in a modern civilized nations. Anyhow, in the vision of Marx’s theory, political democracy and economic equality as two basic goal of human liberation, is achieved through the free society systems.
