Research On The Theoretical Connotation And Contemporary Value Of Kautsky's "Class Struggle

At the end of the 19th century,European capitalism shifted from a stage of free development to a stage of monopoly.Compared with the beginning of the 19 th century,the situation of the labor movement changed dramatically.New demands were placed on the leaders of the social revolution and the international socialist movement.Breaking free from the shackles of the "anti-socialist extraordinary law",in the face of scattered organizational forms,the Social Democratic Party drafted and adopted the significant Erfurt Program,which provided a solid foundation and clear direction for the unity of forces inside and outside the party.As the main member of drafting the final version of the program,Kautsky played a key role.Subsequently,in order to expand the dissemination and influence of the program,Kautsky wrote a classic document using Marxist theory to address the difficulties in the content of the program.That is,"Class Struggle",which is not only of great significance in the history of social revolution abroad,but also played a key role in the learning of class analysis methods by early Marxists in our country.The class situation in different eras will change accordingly.During the journey,how to correctly view and analyze the current main contradiction and class situation can be enlightened from this document.The full text of "Class Struggle" is written in accordance with the order of the rules and regulations.It is divided into five chapters and expounds three points of view as a whole: first,it uses historical materialism to analyze the essence of capitalist society;second,it introduces the method of class analysis more comprehensively for the first time;Third,explain the fundamental method of transforming society.Among them,the introduction and application of innovative and comprehensive class analysis methods provided key help for early Marxists in my country to shape firm class consciousness and learn scientific methods of class analysis,and provided advanced research models and methods for early Marxist disseminators in my country.Broad view.According to historical logic,the paper systematically reviews and organizes the era background,theoretical source and practical basis of "Class Struggle",and reveals the inevitability and historical significance of the writing.Marx’s class analysis theory is the theoretical basis,linking the actual development of contemporary capitalism,adhering to the research attitude of seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times,and exploring the theoretical quality and contemporary value contained in "Class Struggle".The research content is mainly carried out from four levels:First of all,it systematically sorts out the historical background and theoretical preparation for the writing of "Class Struggle",and analyzes that in the historical period of capitalism’s transition from a free stage to a monopoly stage,the Second International was initially established in response to the situation of socialist revolution.Under the complex political environment,Kautsky made a theoretical response to the demands of the European labor movement on the basis of the maturity of historical materialism,the theory of surplus value and scientific socialism.Secondly,it systematically analyzes and summarizes the main theoretical connotations of "Class Struggle".Based on the basic principles of Marxism and on the basis of in-depth analysis of various internal contradictions of German capitalist society,Kautsky demonstrated the historical inevitability of the replacement of the capitalist system by the social system;Basic theories such as the trend and connotation of the public ownership of the means of production,and the principle of national product distribution.In addition,it identifies misconceptions about socialism in society,responds to various arguments against and questioning socialism,and the most influential "class analysis" section on the inevitability,rationality and exemplary significance of "class struggle".Third,explore and summarize the multiple theoretical qualities and narrative logic contained in the text of "Class Struggle".Taking the content and difficulties of the Erfurt Program as the basis and starting point of writing,taking historical materialism as the core methodology throughout,and taking the German Revolution as an important realistic carrier,it excavates from it a firm proletarian stand,the scientific and flexible use of specific strategies,and the need to adapt to the times.Advance to enrich the theoretical quality of the theory,and to make a historical and dialectical objective evaluation of it.Finally,it makes a comprehensive summary of the contemporary value of "Class Struggle",and draws out its theoretical value to the innovative development of Marxism,its practical value to the governance of the Communist Party of China,and its outlook on the era value of the international communist movement in the 21 st century according to its theoretical quality..The innovative class analysis method of various social strata in Class Struggle is instructive for how we face and correctly analyze various new social classes and deal with complex class situations in an era of many new changes in contemporary capitalism.
