Study On Engels's View Of Equality And Its New Development In Contemporary China

People have never ceased to pursue equality, dating back to ancient times. Everyone is eager for equality, hoping to live in a harmonious society with equality, freedom and love.Engels is the great tutor of the proletariat and working people all over the world. Standing the basic position of the proletariat and the masses, He is guided by historical materialism. As far as Engel concerned, the content and extent of the achievement of equality is restricted by the properties and the level of the development of productive forces, and reflects the interests of certain structures. The difference of equality or inequality mainly depends on whether it is in accordance with the law of development and the fundamental interests of the people. What's more, Equality is the product of social development accumulating to a certain degree. To grasp the essence of scientific equality, we could not study equality divorcing from the historical conditions. Based on social reality, Engels has made a scientific answer to the question of equality from a unique historical perspective. Engels also made it clear that the way to achieve real equality is realizing the communism.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders of the party and the state have been very concerned about the inheritance and development of Engels' s view on equality. Chairman Mao Zedong has claimed it was necessary to protect the equality of all the people from the political, economic and social aspects; As the chief designer, Deng Xiaoping, using the Chinese situation as a starting point, has put forward the argument of "first rich theory", that is to say, letting the part of the people get rich firstly, and gradually achieving common prosperity by the rich first pushing those being richer later; Jiang Zemin, the General secretary, has raised the important thought of "Three Represents", and expressed that the highest value pursuit of equality socialism is realizing the fundamental interests of the masses; Hu Jintao has come up with the scientific development view and the Construction of Harmonious Society, Which made the view of socialist equality can be developing better in practice. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the CPC, Xi Jinping has proposed “the concept of shared development” and the great vision of turning China into a moderately prosperous society. It has enriched the theory about All-Round Development of People of Engels' s and gave it a new current implication. The practice of the reform and opening up policy shows that the representative of the Chinese Marxist such as Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Xi Jinping has made hard exploration for the realization of people's ideal of equality, and the framework of the idea of equality they have construct is best suited to China's national conditions of Marxist equality view, which is also the scientific concept of equality of Engels' s.In the eighteen report of the party, it is clearly pointed out that one of the socialist core values is equality. This fully shows that the new party has attached great importance to the realization of social equality, which is of an important guiding significance to solve the current problems of China's social inequality. Based on Engels' s view of equality, the writer intends to seek the way of the realization of human's free and all-round development through the systematic analysis of Engels' s view of equality.
