Research On Marx And Engels’ Thought Of Urban-rural Integration And Its Contemporary Value

The urban-rural integration thought of Marx and Engels is the scientific prediction of Marx and Engels on the development of urban-rural relations.Marx and Engels witnessed the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution to the cities and the countryside.The Industrial Revolution promoted the vigorous development of the cities and at the same time put the countryside into development difficulties,resulting in the intensification of urban-rural conflicts.Marx and Engels critically inherited the urban-rural relationship thought of the British classical political economists,the utopian socialists’ urban-rural integration idea,and Liebig’s agricultural "return principle",etc.,and gradually formed the urban-rural integration idea.Looking through the works of Marx and Engels in various periods,it can be found that Marx and Engels’ discourses on the relationship between urban and rural areas are scattered in their texts.and deepen.In the process of Marx and Engels’ understanding and development of urban-rural relations,they showed rich ideas of urban-rural integration.Marx and Engels deeply analyzed the development trend of urban-rural relations and believed that urban-rural relations will eventually move towards integration.However,realizing urban-rural integration is a long process,and conditions such as highly developed productivity must be met.Starting from the specific problems at that time,Marx and Engels analyzed the opposition between urban and rural areas under the capitalist system.The main ways of urban-rural integration,that is,vigorously develop productive forces,realize the integrated development of industry and agriculture,vigorously promote the application of science and technology,and vigorously promote the development of education,etc.,have pointed out the direction for urban and rural development.Deeply understand Marx and Engels’ urban-rural integration thought,excavate and sort out the main content of Marx and Engels’ urban-rural integration thought,and provide theoretical guidance for my country to solve urban and rural problems in the new era.At present,my country is accelerating the pace of establishing an urban-rural integration system and mechanism,and urban and rural development has achieved staged achievements.However,problems such as the uneven flow of urban and rural productivity factors,unbalanced industrial development,unreasonable resource allocation,and unbalanced education development are still prominent.Guided by Marx and Engels’ thought of urban-rural integration,and proceeding from the actual situation of urban and rural areas in my country,we should improve the free flow mechanism of urban and rural productive forces,promote the integration of urban and rural industries,rationally allocate urban and rural resources,and promote the balanced development of urban and rural education,so as to accelerate the pace of urban and rural integration.
