On Marx's Thought Of "The Mode Of Co-operation" And Its Significance

The core concept of this paper is "the mode of co-operation",which is often used by Marx in expounding the basic principles of historical materialism.The purpose of highlighting this concept is to further deepen the understanding of some principles of historical materialism.In the face of the new era and new development,historical materialism has weakened its explanatory power under the framework of the original concepts of productive forces,production relations,economic foundation and superstructure.For example,in the past,we defined productivity as the social productive capacity of a person,including factors such as producers,means of production and objects of production.When facing the problem of supply-side structural reform,this kind of understanding is obviously insufficient in theoretical explanatory power.Because the supply-side structural reform regards the production side as an organizational structure,it not only includes the quality of laborers,means of production and factors of production objects,but also includes factors such as industrial structure,mechanism and system of production,public policy of the government and supply mode of production.This shows that the production of modern society has become a problem of how to organize and construct the all-round production factors.Therefore,facing the new theoretical requirements of the new era,it is necessary to start from the classic works of Marxist philosophy and make a new understanding of some principles of historical materialism.The concept of co-operation mode put forward by Marx refers to the organizational form and structural pattern of people's social common production activity.Marx thinks that the co-operation mode of society is also a kind of productivity.That is to say,productivity not only refers to the production capacity of producers,means of production and objects of production,but also includes the question of how these factors of production are organized.And in the process of choosing production activities organized,social production relations and the superstructure elements such as to reaction way to enter the production activities,it is well known that the production relations and the superstructure has adverse effect to the productivity development,since the backfire,they will into production activities,and directly affects the social mode of production.Participation in the activity process of a mode of production.The co-operation pattern is the organization pattern and structure pattern of social all-round production factor.This mode of co-operation will be manifested in the evolution from ancient to modern,from primary to advanced,from simple to complex with the development of history.In order to further clarify the concept of co-operation mode,we also need to distinguish and analyze this concept from other related concepts in historical materialism.The distinction and connection between this concept and the concept of productivity are described above.The difference and connection between this concept and the concept of production relationship: first,the difference between the two is that the mode of co-operation refers to the mutual relationship between people in production activities,focusing on the activity relationship;But the key of the production relation is the property relation or property right relation between people.Secondly,the relation between the two is that the mode of joint activity directly determines the production relation,that is,the ownership of property,and the status of production relation also reacts on the choice of the co-operation mode.In terms of the actual mode of co-operation,it can also be called the mode of production.But in the past people paid little attention to the concept of production mode.Marx's thought of co-operation mode has its profound theoretical source.First,the ancient Greek put forward the idea that man is a political animal or man is a social animal.Aristotle found that people are born to engage in organized social life or social activities;Second,the related thoughts of German classical philosophy,including the universality of reason,self-initiative and the relationship between self and others.The third is Feuerbach's humanism philosophy.He pointed out that "kind" is the unity or realistic relationship between people,and this unity is only possible in social activities.Through the critical inheritance of these traditional thoughts,Marx not only formed the understanding of the co-operation mode,but also formed the theoretical system of historical materialism based on the mode of co-operation to understand the law of historical development of human society.From the theoretical system of historical materialism,productivity with the connotation of producers,means of production,and production objects is the fundamental driving force of historical development and the cornerstone of the theoretical system of historical materialism.This view is correct.But the inadequacy of the concept of productivity is that it fails to fully describe social production activities,especially the inevitability of its connection with production relations.The inevitability of the two lies in that the ownership of property is directly determined by the way people work together,rather than by people's production capacity.Therefore,in the construction of the theoretical system of historical materialism,it is necessary to highlight the concept of co-operation mode,so as to realize the self-perfection of the theoretical system and enhance the explanatory power of the theoretical system.The above viewpoints can be further proved from the historical evolution of the mode of social co-operation.From the perspective of social co-operation mode,human history can be summarized as the original co-operation mode,the co-operation mode of individual family,the co-operation mode of joint community and the co-operation mode of socialized production.It is these different ways of co-operation that determine different ownership relations and even different social forms.It is of great practical significance to deeply study the thought of co-operation mode.Theoretically,it is beneficial to enrich and develop the theoretical system of historical materialism.In practice,it provides theoretical support for the ongoing supply-side structural reform.It provides the theoretical basis of historical materialism for the great thought of "a community with a Shared future for mankind".
