Industrial revolution greatly promotes the development of productive forces, forming two directly opposing classes, the capitalist class and the working class. The development of productive forces is the premise of mankind to obtain freedom. However, the fruits of productive forces developing are possessed by capitalists alone. The fact that capitalists obtain freedom at the cost of working class'benefits forces the working class into a situation without freedom, accepting exploitation and poverty and developing partially. The working class and capitalist class are opposing in politics and economy. On the basis of research on economics, Marx and Engels verify systematically such opposition and find out the social source of the opposition, i.e. under capitalist private ownership the working class not possessing production, and workers being separating from production.Starting from the macro perspective of mankind's freedom and liberation, Marx and Engels point out that the working class is the class basis to transform old capitalist society and build bright future society. In the Communist Manifesto, they put forward the principle idea for the working class'freedom, i.e. overturning capitalist private ownership. With the developing of research on economics, in 1867 in his On Capital Marx revealed comprehensively and profoundly the historical trend of capitalist accumulation and the essential law to extinction. He makes scientific prediction to essential characteristics of the new society, i.e. realizing mankind's freedom and"rebuilding individual ownership".At present, scholars disagree with each other on the meaning of"rebuilding individual ownership". Our understanding is that the future society should rebuild"social""individual ownership", from which we are clear about the thought of proletarian class becoming propertied class. Should the proletarians are still poor and possessing nothing, they do not achieve the aim of revolution of breaking old society's shackles and becoming new society's masters. Theoretically, the proletarians can obtain freedom only after becoming propertied class. In the process of social evolution from"being dependent on people"to"being dependent on things"and into"human's free individuality", the combination of workers with production plays an important role for mankind's freedom. It can be proved by the fact that small producers are much freer in pre capitalist society than in capitalist society. It is only the first step for the mission of proletarian revolution to overturn capitalist private ownership and capture the political power. The complete understanding the mission of proletarian revolution is that rising to the propertied class and new type workers in the new society. The thought of proletarian class becoming propertied class is an implied meaning of both Marxism and socialism.Western stock system rose in the sixties and seventies in nineteenth century, and developed quickly after. In china, with the development of economic system, the stock system has been recognized as the best form of socialist ownership. Practicing of stock system indicates that it is not only necessary but also possible for proletarian class to become propertied class.The thought of proletarian class becoming propertied class connotes that the proletarian class captures the political power to rise themselves to propertied class by force or peaceful means, that they transform the production ownership to accumulate for their freedom and change thoroughly the living condition of possessing nothing, that everyone possesses production and becomes new type workers under new means of production. It also connotes that the proletarian breaks the shackles of property ownership to realize the fine realm in which everyone is part of the"freemen commonwealth". It expects to get rid of the restraint of owning the property, and to realize changing their social status, and finish the course of human's good dream by becoming parts of common wealth of free man. Its form, which is based on the social ownership and has product material with value state through shareholding system, can be understood as realizing the direct joint of the laborers and the labor material. This course begins from the proletarian being conscious of her historical mission, goes through the socialist society , and ends with the whole realization of freeman commonwealth of ideal society.The thought of Marx's the proletarian class into the propertied class shows his final attention to everyone's free and all-round development. It fits for the natural feature of human chasing for freedom, and relates to the reality of social aim of freeman commonwealth. To understand the thought correctly is in somehow concerned with the future and fate of socialism.Everyone was poor in economy in the new society because traditional practitioners of socialism didn't view Marxism from man's all-round development, ignored the theory of Marx's proletarian class into the propertied class, and concentrated on how to build extremely pure system of public ownership of means of production, which badly hurt people's active work, and made a stagnated productive forces and a standstill economy. So man's all-round, free development is not obtained at all.Our Party re-explained socialism, which is to realize everyone's common prosperity, after she reflected the history of our building socialism. The standards of productive forces and the concrete policies have opened the door of Chinese working class into propertied class.The significance and value of Marx's thought of the proletarian class into the propertied class could make us explain the reasons why the middle propertied class rose abruptly in western countries, and why the middle propertied class could be developing and stronger in China. After the Second World War the middle propertied class---the white-collar class rising abruptly and its explosive growing trend in the world state that socialistic factors in capitalistic society are growing and the history is unconsciously developing what is healthy and discarding what is harm in capitalistic society. There are more conditions in developed countries for realizing man's free character in new society.The trend of Chinese middle propertied class's development is the inevitability of realizing common prosperity. Its stronger shows that there are more and more people becoming the propertied. The middle propertied class could make the society stable, vigorous and efficient. Its sound development is beneficial to lasting development of economy, social civilization and development, and preparing for common prosperity with substance foundation. When the majority have become into the propertied, that is to say, everyone has his own property, the aim of common prosperity has nearly got to, the freeman commonwealth of social aim that Marx has designed is nearer. So the value and significance of the thought of Marx's the proletarian class into the propertied class will be showed all-round ways. industrial structure and speeding urbanization in country areas. Social allocation based on efficiency should be fair. Law system should be improved during the course of deepening reform of market-oriented economy system. Trade and department monopoly should be broken. Caring for disadvantaged groups could reduce the polarity between rich and poor. Then we can realize common prosperity gradually.
