Vettering’s "Bible Salvation" Project And Marx’s Criticism

Utopian socialism is one of the theoretical sources of Marx’s philosophy.As an early utopian socialist in Germany,weitlin also saw the realistic suffering brought by the capitalist society based on private ownership at that time.He put forward the utopian plan of "realistic salvation" in the gospel of a poor sinner.This "plan" is not only opposed and criticized by Marx,but also constitutes the "reverse" ideological premise of Marx’s construction of scientific socialism.Through the gospel of a poor sinner,whitling introduced the core principles of Christianity into the construction of his future ideal society.Taking the three core principles of Christianity,namely faith and knowledge,hope and love,as the fundamental guarantee for the realization of communism,he pointed out the realistic road for human beings to realize freedom and liberation.His three principles are: first,he opposed the property system and put forward the principle of sharing wealth;second,he publicized the violent revolution and called on the poor to eliminate private ownership through revolution;third,he put forward the social organization plan of big family alliance to realize their all-round and free development.Marx exposed the religious essence of the utopian socialist plan of weitlin,and thought that his so-called "three principles" were only "variants" of Christian thought,which carried the religious imagination of heaven into the human reality society and became "earthly Utopia".It is mainly manifested in that weitlin’s understanding of private ownership is one-sided,which is private ownership based on public ownership;weitlin’s violent revolution is an unorganized and blind riot with the color of fantasy and religion;weitlin’s big family alliance is only based on the emotional union with "love",which also determines that it will go to the theoretical fate of fantasy.Although weitlin’s "Salvation Plan" is Utopian,it also contains some reasonable sporadic "elements" in the elimination of private ownership,social revolution and the union.Marx went back to the practice of material production of human society and turned weitlin’s "earthly fantasy" into the "historical truth" of human practice,which naturally contains the reform of weitlin’s "three principles" of practice theory: first,Marx raised the subject of liberation from the laborer’s Liberation to the proletariat’s Liberation,eliminated the class,and realized the liberation of the whole human being;second,Marx raised the subject of liberation from the laborer’s Liberation to the proletariat’s liberation Marx raised the way of liberation from violent revolution to class struggle,solved class problems through class struggle,and finally eliminated class;third,Marx changed the goal of liberation from the big family alliance to the Commonwealth of free men,and human beings moved from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom,and finally to the state of taking human development as the goal.To explore Marx’s criticism and Transcendence of his utopian socialism can help us have a more comprehensive understanding of utopian socialism,and he is also an important member of utopian socialism.At the same time,it also helps us to deeply understand the scientific nature of Marxism,so as to strengthen our belief in Marxism.
