Engels' View Of The Origin Of The State And Its Contemporary Value

National origin is the key to a proper understanding of the nature and functions of the state.One hundred years ago,due to the lack of knowledge of human history,archaeology and other social and historical disciplines,the academic discussion on the origin of the state was basically stagnant.Engels expressed a unique opinion on national origin,different from the theory of the bourgeois state.Its ideological essence inherits the philosophical principle of the state put forward by Marx.Der Ursprung der Familie,des Privateigenthums und des Staats written by Engels is a great achievement of Marx and Engels' thought on the origin of state.Its publication makes historical materialism scientifically verified in the whole stage of human social development,especially for the social form before the civilized society is no longer a hypothesis.Engels used historical materialism to analyze the emergence of private ownership and class,so as to extend to the causes of the emergence of the state and the nature of class,and to give a scientific answer to the law of the origin and development of the state.Engels' more scientific ideological system is an indispensable part in the study of the origin of contemporary countries.Engels' theory of the origin of the state has a great influence.Scholars of different schools have conducted in-depth research and ideological collision on the issue of the origin of the state.According to Morton H.Fried 's "the stratified society" model of the origin of the state,in order to protect the order of stratification,the stratum which has the advantage in the possession of resources needs the support of legal violence,which is the motivation of the origin of the state.By comparing the differences between Engels' and Fried 's thoughts on the origin of the state,we can gradually form a clearer picture of the emergence and evolution of the state.With the diversification and differentiation of contemporary national development,the country is facing many practical problems.We need to take Engels' theory of the origin of the country as the guidance,and tap its contemporary value on the basis of grasping the contemporary changes of the country and solving the practical problems,so as to explore the future trend of national development more comprehensively and build our country well.
