Marx’s communist ideology,as the soul of Marxism,is the starting point and foothold of his entire theoretical system.It is a program that guides the actions of the proletariat,a scientific guide for human liberation,and a treasure in the history of human thought.Especially in the early stages,Marx’s communist ideology underwent a multidimensional development process from inception to maturity,from being good to being better,and eventually forming scientific communism.This article attempts to analyze the logical evolution of Marx’s theoretical framework,based on his early classic works and the historical logic of the development of communist ideology,and finally focuses on the inheritance and development of this ideology by the Communist Party of China.Specifically,first of all,through the analysis of the historical background and theoretical origins,it points out that the Industrial Revolution,the contradictions of capitalist society and the workers’ movement,as well as the utopian socialist doctrines of Saint-Simon,Fourier,and Owen,created objective conditions and theoretical foundations for the formation of Marxist communism,and demonstrated the possibility of the formation of Marxist communism.Secondly,from the historical perspective of the development of Marxist communism,it sorts out its emergence,formation,and development.In the period of the Rheinische Zeitung and the Deutsch-Franz?sische Jahrbücher,Marx began to come into contact with communist thought,but serious social problems caused his understanding of communism to shift from rationalism to humanism.Although a complete system of thought had not yet been formed during this period,Marx’s speculative exploration of communism had already given birth to the germ of thought.In the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844,Marx was still influenced by Feuerbach,but the theory of alienated labor laid the theoretical foundation for his breakthrough from humanism to historical materialism and scientific communism.In The Holy Family,Marx initially put forward the idea of historical materialism,and in the Theses on Feuerbach and The German Ideology,he systematically expounded the basic principles of historical materialism for the first time.The Poverty of Philosophy supplemented historical materialism,making Marxist communism mature and laying the theoretical foundation for historical materialism as the cornerstone of scientific communism.In 1848,the publication of The Communist Manifesto marked the birth of Marxist scientific communism.At the same time,based on the analysis of Capital and The Critique of the Gotha Program,this paper compares early Marxist communist thought with middle and late-term thought,starting from two aspects: the content of thought and the system of thought,to analyze the differences between early and later thought.Furthermore,starting from the three dimensions of Marx’s understanding of communism,its essential connotations,and the path to realization,this paper analyzes the theoretical logic of the development of Marx’s early communist thought.Finally,by returning to social reality from theory,it analyzes the inheritance and development of Marxist communist thought by the Communist Party of China(CPC)as a Marxist political party in the New Democratic Revolution,the Socialist Revolution and Construction period,the Reform and Opening-Up period,the period of socialist modernization construction with Chinese characteristics,and the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics,elucidating the CPC’s firm ideological belief in realizing communism.Marxist communist ideology involves multiple disciplines and fields,with a wide scope and deep content.In order to truly understand,master,and apply it in future research,it is necessary to continuously explore the original works and fully absorb the latest research results in the academic community.At the same time,it is important to rely on social reality and put the study of ideology in the context of practical fields.The "ability" of the Communist Party of China and the "goodness" of Chinese socialism with Chinese characteristics can be attributed to the success of Marxism.Scientific socialism,as an important part of Marxism,must be closely linked to the great practice of the Communist Party of China and Chinese socialism with Chinese characteristics,and deepened through practical research.
