Although modernization is a very different concept,the process of modern society is an irreversible objective historical process.Generally speaking,modernization is accompanied by signs of industrialization,urbanization,secularization,democratization,knowledge,marketization and so on.In Marx ’s exposition,on the one hand,modernization includes the development of social productive forces and the great abundance of material wealth;on the other hand,what drives the development of the modernization movement and the crises that accompany the modernization process are internal contradictions that run through all areas of modernization.Marx’s critique of modernization includes not only the affirmation of the process of capitalism,but also the transcendence of the basic contradictions of capitalism and its various realistic expressions.Marx,who grew up in the period of vigorous development of capitalist modernization,made an in-depth diagnosis of the reality of capitalism.Different from the criticism of some western scholars with an obvious "capitalist position",Marx saw the essential problems of capitalist modernization with his keen eye,and carried out an analysis and criticism of capitalist modern life.In Marx ’s critique of modernization,it shows profound historical logic,realistic logic and practical logic.The historical logic reflects the historical vision of Marx’s criticism of modernization.That is to say,modernization is not born out of thin air,but is an objective process of society laid down on a certain historical basis.Moving from traditional society to modern society is not only a historic change,but also reflects the continuity of history.Realistic logic reflects the objective attitude of Marx’s modernization criticism.That is,Marx revealed the basic situation of capitalist modernization and the internal contradictions hidden in it,and deeply criticized the prominent modernity issues.The practical logic fundamentally reflects the ultimate purpose of Marx’s modernization criticism-human’s free and comprehensive development.Marx believes that the real practice is not only the material production activities of people,but more importantly,people realize their own value in practice,but capitalism has suppressed the pursuit of their true value to a certain extent,and people have become " "Commission".This layer of logic also shows the purpose of Marx’s criticism of modernization.These three layers of logic progressively progressed and provided a prescribed description of Marx’s modernization criticism from different angles,and were organically unified in Marx’s modernization critical thought.In short,Marx recognized the powerful power of capital in the entire capitalist society,but at the same time,many modern issues emerging in social life are essentially brought about by "capital".Therefore,from the perspective of "Everyone’s Free Development",it is the ultimate goal to realize the modernization of the individual’s spiritual level.
