Research On Engels’s Theory Of Proletarian Equality And Its Contemporary Value

Equality is an unstoppable pursuit of human beings since ancient times.This pursuit,as a kind of spiritual power,can play an important role in promoting social development.The classic Marxist writer Engels used the world outlook and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism to criticize the hypocrisy of the bourgeois idea of equality.The mode of production,eliminating class itself,provides value guidance and basic compliance for socialist society to achieve equality,and also points the way for the liberation of the proletariat and human beings.The current strategy of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes unseen in a century are intertwined and turbulent.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and the contradiction of unbalanced and insufficient development has become the main contradiction restricting the current economic and social development of our country.Studying and practicing Engels’ thought on equality of the proletariat has important theoretical and practical significance for dealing with the two overall situations and solving the problems of unbalanced and insufficient development at home and abroad.Based on Engels’ classic texts,this paper adheres to the research method of unifying logic and history and integrating theory with practice.The first part mainly sorts out and studies the historical background and theoretical origin of Engels’ thought on proletarian equality.The thesis analyzes the inherent contradictions of society under the capitalist mode of production.Under the stimulation of the inherent contradictions,the contradictions between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat continue to intensify,and the class struggle continues,thus revealing the historical background of Engels’ thought on proletarian equality.Whether it is the equality philosophy of ancient Greek philosophers or the equality thought of modern Enlightenment thinkers and utopian socialists,although they have their historical limitations,the merits of these ideas cannot be denied.These merits are Engels’ thought of proletarian equality.important theoretical resources.The second part,based on Engels’ classic texts,sorts out the historical evolution of Engels’ thought of equality.It mainly includes the actual investigation of the tragic and unequal status quo of the working class in "The Condition of the British Working Class" in the embryonic period,to the construction of the equal value goal of the proletariat in the "Communist Manifesto" in the establishment period,and then to the "Anti-Dühring" in the development period.The systematic exposition of the concept of equality of the proletariat in "On".By combing the ideological context,it is revealed that in different historical periods,Engels’ proletarian equality thought has the same lineage and advancing with the times.The third part systematically summarizes the main content and essential characteristics of Engels’ thought on proletarian equality.It mainly summarizes its key contents from four aspects: the goal of proletarian equality,the premise and subject of its realization,and its development: the real equality that the proletariat wants to achieve is not formal but actual,and it is economic and social equality;the equality of the proletariat It is concrete and historical,rather than abstract and immutable;the main body of realizing equality of the proletariat can only be the proletariat itself,and the premise is to change private ownership,establish public ownership,and eliminate classes;the realization of proletarian equality is a dialectically negative concrete historical process.The thesis also summarizes the theoretical characteristics of Engels’ thought on proletarian equality,that is,Engels’ thought on proletarian equality is based on historical materialism,emphasizing the organic unity of economy,politics,culture,society,and ecology.The unity of factual equality,procedural justice and substantive justice,starting point equality and result equality;the ultimate realization of proletarian equality is to eliminate classes and realize communism.The fourth part focuses on expounding the theoretical status and contemporary value of Engels’ thought of proletarian equality.On the theoretical level,Engels’ thought of proletarian equality is an important part of Engels’ ideological system,which has built the theoretical cornerstone of the Marxist concept of equality and the theoretical foundation of the socialist thought of equality with Chinese characteristics.At the level of equality practice in contemporary China,Engels’ thought on proletarian equality provides theoretical guidance and practical compliance for the practice of socialist core values and the concept of shared development,and also points out the direction for achieving common prosperity.Weapons are also a strong bulwark against the impact of Western bourgeois values and erroneous ideological trends.
