Research On The Social Revolution Thought Of Young Engels

To constantly develop the great social revolution of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,Marxist social-revolution thinking not only provided fundamental theoretical basis,but also established the historical legitimacy for the Chinese Communist Party’s practice of leading the great social revolution with great self-revolution.However,the current society is full of arguments such as "Farewell to the revolution" and "No revolution in the 21 st century",which has caused serious external public opinion troubles for our party’s deepening of the great social revolution.To eliminate ideological errors and create a correct social environment,it is particularly important to trace the starting point of Marxist social-revolution thinking on the theoretical level.As one of the founders of Marxism,Engels conducted in-depth research on social revolution issues in his youth,and initially clarified a series of basic issues concerning the proletariat’s social revolution.Adopting the method of text analysis and the unity of history and logic,taking "Young Engels" as the object and "Social-revolution thinking" as the theme,this research systematically and comprehensively analyzed the young Engels’ thinking on social revolution,as well as its historical function and practical significance.Main contents are as follows:Firstly,the historical situation and theories then influenced the formation of the young Engels’ thinking on social revolution,among which Piety Religiousism,Political Despotism,and Unlimited Expansion of Capitalism played significant roles.Meanwhile,Engels absorbed theories from the young Germans,the young Hegelians,Feuerbach,utopian socialism,and bourgeois politics in a dialectical way.Secondly,young Engels’ thinking on social revolution thought developed dialectically and was continuously enriched.From the initial criticism of religion,to the criticism of national politics,to the criticism of political economy,and finally to social criticism.Thirdly,the young Engels’ thinking on social revolution was rich in content.The discourses on the nature,roots,conditions,and methods of social revolution constitute the main content.Engels made a judgment on the essence of social revolution.He believed that social revolution was the real revolution.From the perspective of the origin and conditions,Engels believed that capitalist private ownership was the source of the proletarian social revolution,and its operation of various bourgeois systems constantly created conditions;From the perspective of methods,social revolution requires a principled means of violent revolution,but it is not the only means.Meanwhile,he also pointed out that the power of the proletarian party should be needed to lead the social revolution.Young Engels’ thinking on social revolution has important historical function and realistic enlightenment.From the perspective of historical role,it not only provided a good theoretical follow-up to the labor movement back then,but also laid a good foundation for the formation of historical materialism;From the perspective of practical value,it was helpful for the Communist Party of China to promote the party’s self-revolution,providing guiding significance to lead the social revolution in the new era,and realize the "second centenary" goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
