Marx’s Thought Of Common Prosperity And Its Contemporary Value

Common prosperity is the eternal aspiration of the people and the great goal that the CPC has led the people to strive for.Marx’s thoughts on common prosperity are scattered in many of his works.The sorting and induction of his thoughts on common prosperity will help us to understand more clearly the historical inevitability of achieving common prosperity in the new era,and help us to strengthen our ideals and beliefs and clarify the responsibility of the times.Marx’s thought of common prosperity came into being in the first half of the 19th century.Under the historical background of rapid development of capitalism,the polarization between rich and poor is becoming increasingly severe,and exploitation of the proletariat,Marx deeply recognized the law of social development,seriously criticized the capitalist mode of production,and gradually improved his ideas under the enlightenment of British classical political economy,Utopian socialism,and German ancient philosophy.The evolution of Marx’s thought of common prosperity can be divided into three stages.Firstly,in the embryonic stage,during the Rhine newspaper period,young Marx began to recognize the fundamental reasons for social class opposition after encountering material interests difficulties,indicating that the class position of communism should be based on the true interests of the lowest class of people.With the publication of "German Ideology",At this time,Marx completed the transformation from idealism to materialism,had a deeper understanding of common prosperity,and his thought of common prosperity began to form gradually.The Communist Manifesto marks the maturity of Marx’s thought of common prosperity,which is full of critical spirit and revolutionary spirit.Marx envisioned a communist society free from exploitation and oppression,and revealed that the fundamental way to achieve common prosperity was to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie,eliminate private ownership,establish a proletarian regime,vigorously develop productive forces,and liberate all humanity.Marx believed that the subject of common prosperity is all members of the society,the purpose is the free and comprehensive development of everyone,the basis is the development of productive forces,and the institutional guarantee of common prosperity is the public ownership of means of production.Achieving common prosperity is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight.His ideas have the characteristics of being people-oriented,systematic,phased,and practical.Marx’s common prosperity thought is not only an important theoretical source of the CPC’s common prosperity thought,but also provides a practical guide for promoting common prosperity in the new era.It is of great significance for us to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and realize common prosperity in the new era,and we will firmly realize the Chinese Dream and the lofty ideal of communism.
