No exploitation, no class struggle
In the past few decades, guided by the theory of class struggle, we have awakened the revolutionary enthusiasm of the poor, successfully overthrown the old order and regime, and promoted the progress of history.
However, as the new regime is established and entrenched, we need to keep pace with the times to adapt to the new environment and challenges.
In the period of peacebuilding, the problems and contradictions are very different from those in the period of the revolutionary war. The exploiting class has been eliminated, and the economic basis on which they have become the exploiting class has been completely confiscated or transformed.
This means that the historical mission of the idea of class struggle has been accomplished. Theoretically, without the exploiting class, the exploited and oppressed should also disappear. However, it's not that simple.
In the turbulent years, the differences of opinion and ideological differences between comrades-in-arms were infinitely exaggerated, and they were regarded as class struggles and contradictions between friends and enemies, which led to a period of catastrophe and serious consequences.
While there are still some who insist that private enterprises are exploitative on the grounds of overtime, wage deductions, and gratuitous appropriation of surplus value, these views actually stem from past propaganda and historical service to armed revolution and political struggle.
Today, however, these ideas are becoming increasingly outdated and harmful. Using the thinking of exploitation and class struggle to understand and resolve the contradictions, conflicts, and ideological disputes in today's society is actually raising the problems that could have been resolved within the framework of the existing laws, regulations, and discipline system to the level of contradictions between the enemy and ourselves, and exaggerating and intensifying them to the point of being incompatible, and this will inevitably lead to serious social antagonism and the serious consequences of class splitting.
We should look at these issues with a more open and inclusive attitude and find reasonable solutions to achieve the harmonious development of society.
Exploitation, oppression, and class struggle have been used as tools to drive revolution, and have historically served violent revolutions and political struggles. However, although some people remain attached to this ideology and belief, and even regard it as a scientific theory and objective law, these ideas cannot solve the various social problems faced by the new regime after the victory of the revolution.
The solution of these problems requires the maintenance of normal order and stability in society in peacetime through the dimensions of democracy, rule of law, rules and discipline, and spiritual morality. Acknowledging the legitimacy and legitimacy of the current social system and the effectiveness and rationality of its social governance effectiveness is the basis for solving all problems.
Any attempt to negate and subvert the existing system is wrong and must be addressed within a system that complies with the existing regulations. This is a lesson from history and a realistic requirement of today's society.
Although the ideas of exploitation, oppression and class struggle originated in the West and served the revolutionary war years, their historical mission came to an end when the revolutionary goals were accomplished. Even if some people still preach private exploitation and class struggle today, they will not question the legitimacy of the current administration.
However, this thinking can have negative consequences. Under the current legal system, the unreasonable behavior or illegal employment of enterprises can be resolved by reporting to the boss, filing judicial proceedings and appealing.
The problems of the current system of government can be reflected and resolved through organizational procedures, democratic institutions and legal means. If we choose to look at the problem from the perspective of exploitation, oppression and class struggle, then this is tantamount to destroying the existing order, which may lead to the expansion of differences, the intensification of contradictions, the provocation of incidents and the intensification of confrontation, and may even lead to social tears.
Original: Some people believe that the class struggle existed in the past and is still there, citing as evidence the statement in the party constitution and constitution that the class struggle "will continue to exist for a long time within a certain range, and may sometimes intensify."
However, in fact, after the reform and opening up, the official no longer gave a politicized characterization of class struggle or exploitation and oppression to specific people and events in reality. In other words, the class struggle now exists only within the scope of ideas, theories, and beliefs, and does not have any practical relevance to people and things.
Those who advocate the class struggle and criticize the "theory of extinguishing the class struggle" always presuppose that they first predetermine the best class for themselves, and then designate those who disagree as the exploiting class, but this only stays within the scope of their ideological theories and spiritual beliefs, and will never be officially recognized.
Interpreting exploitation and oppression with the theory of surplus value and viewing social contradictions with the concept of class struggle are the necessary conditions for launching a violent revolution during the revolutionary war. Today, China's rejuvenation in the period of peaceful construction requires a long-term stable domestic and international environment, and the ideology and theory of the war years need to be clarified and the essence of its tools of struggle needs to be restored.
This is a problem that we must face up to and solve in the current academic circles, theoretical circles, and propaganda and education fields. Otherwise, this issue and the resulting chaos could affect peace and stability at home and abroad.
