A Study Of Class Theory In The Communist Manifesto

The class theory in the Communist Manifesto is of great significance in the Marxist theoretical system.It is the theory of proletarian class liberation and an important part of Marxist theory.The academic circles have done a lot of research on Marx’s class theory,and there have been great disputes on the research of class theory,which makes the class theory wrong and marginalized for a period of time.To get a scientific understanding of class theory,we need to go back to Marx’s text,explore his true meaning and refute the wrong thought reasonably.Marx pointed out that class is the product of the development of productive forces to a certain stage.The division of class is determined by the possession of means of production.The whole social history is the history of class struggle.When the productivity develops to a certain stage,the products produced by people have surplus,and surplus products and surplus labor begin to appear.Therefore,the generation of surplus value and the continuous development of productivity make the social form begin to change.In the final analysis,the change of social form depends on the development of productivity and the progress of production relations.The advanced class representing the development of productive forces has accumulated the strength to change the old society,seized power through class struggle and established a new social system.The bourgeoisie is a progressive class in changing the feudal society,which is of great positive significance in history.However,in the process of capitalist social development,the bourgeoisie has irresolvable contradictions with the socialization of production in order to obtain more private property,It forged the weapon that killed itself-the proletariat.Marx believed that the proletariat is the most advanced class.The proletariat shoulders the historical mission of establishing a communist society and liberating all mankind.In the process of struggle with the bourgeoisie,the proletariat can get rid of the rule of the bourgeoisie only by establishing its own political power.The dictatorship of the proletariat is the necessary stage of socialist dictatorship.The class theory in the Manifesto of the Communist Party is a scientific,revolutionary and practical theory.As a scientific system,class theory has played an important role in guiding the proletarian revolutionary movement.Seeing the great significance of class theory and clarifying the true meaning of Marx are sober and practical in guiding the class and stratum situation of socialist society with Chinese characteristics Objective understanding of capitalist society has important theoretical and practical significance.
