Bernstein: Socialism is fantasy
He was the first person to go against Marx, who was he? He's Bernstein! Why is Bernstein the number one traitor to Marx? Because he had a major disagreement with Marx's ideas.
You may not know much about Bernstein as a historical figure, but it doesn't matter, he is a very distinctive person who can easily relate to people. He was a pioneer of revisionism, and his ideas were very unique and were able to dig deep into the essence of socialism.
However, this has also led many people to be confused by his views and go in the wrong direction.
The core idea of the original text is to criticize the influence of Bernstein and his revisionist theory on Germany, the Soviet Union and China, in which Germany and the Soviet Union were misled by Bernstein and abandoned the socialist road, leading to the collapse of the country, while the Chinese had blindly worshiped *** and were skeptical of other theories.
The new copy can keep the original meaning, but put it in another way: Although among many countries, Germany and the Soviet Union were the first to be deceived, respectively, under the influence of Bernstein, to abandon the socialist road, which led to the country's difficulties; The Chinese, on the other hand, have been blindly cultivating *** for a period of time and are skeptical of other theories.
However, this does not mean that Bernstein and his revisionist theories have much influence on the Chinese, and some even believe that their influence on China is minimal.
We have not only touched the core of the Chinese, but even made the Chinese suffer from it. Bernstein once said that socialism is just an unattainable dream because the social environment is changing and the class struggle is no longer applicable.
He also put forward many other remarks on the basis of this theory, such as: class cooperation, common prosperity is the real truth; Capitalist society will not disappear anytime soon, so the proletariat ** is unnecessary and bourgeois democracy should be pursued.
While Bernstein and his famous quotes may be known for revisionism, in my opinion, his remarks are not worthy of praise. In fact, Bernstein's point of view is that the proletariat should not exist, and bourgeois democracy is the right path.
His desire to seize power is very obvious, and this idea is impossible to achieve in a country where the proletariat has not been realized. In countries that have already achieved proletarian **, people are even less likely to fall for him.
However, the Soviets gave up power because they believed his words, and as a result, as we have seen, Russia and Ukraine, which came out of the Soviet system, have been in conflict.
Although Bernstein's words are somewhat level, his remarks do have a certain deception.
There is no doubt that capitalist society will exist for a long time, and in the current social environment, blind class struggle is no longer suitable, and the best choice is to work together to achieve wealth sharing.
If we put this idea into reality, you will find that it does not seem to be true. Isn't that what we're thinking about today? Apart from his attempt to seize power, we have no objection to any other view.
That's Bernstein's wisdom! His theories have succeeded in gaining the approval of the broad masses of the people, so when the bourgeoisie tries to seize power, will the people still firmly oppose it?
If the people no longer firmly defend a regime, will its foundations still be strong? The example of the Soviet Union teaches us that once the population is stirred, the regime collapses.
And what about China? The current people may not care about the regime, but that doesn't mean they will hand it over. China also has a strong state and power, which is very similar to the situation of the Soviet Union, which makes people feel dangerous.
However, all this seems to have nothing to do with us ordinary people. This is where Bernstein's cunning lies. Fortunately, the Chinese people are resilient and the education is relatively successful, for example, I know China's goals and current situation, and I will not be easily deceived or troubled.
China's state can be described by socialism with special characteristics and new democracy. The main body of the state is socialism, but the civil state is capitalism.
This state is based on public ownership, and the four peoples of state capital, private capitalists, workers and peasants coexist and coexist, harmonious and unique. Although the state power is in the hands of the communists, who are the disciples of Marxism, and the state leadership collective, the Juche consciousness, the economic subject, and the goal of struggle are all socialism, our socialism has a special character, because we do not engage in class struggle, nor do we exclude the existence of exploitation.
This is because what we want to achieve is the goal of common prosperity for the whole society.
Due to the constraints of the domestic and international situation, China is still in the stage of new democracy, and it has no choice but to maintain a state of coexistence and symbiosis between the state, private capitalists, workers and peasants.
While Bernstein's arguments are persuasive, the ideology of the majority of the common people in China is very strong. Even people with low IQs know that they can protect their interests only if they remain proletarian.
If the proletariat is lost and the capitalists take power, life for the people may be even more difficult. Therefore, the proletariat ** is essential for the people.
Although the Chinese people were not really influenced by Bernstein's rhetoric and ran to support the bourgeoisie's seizure of power, it is an undeniable fact that they are actually living in a capitalist material world.
Therefore, Bernstein's words do have the potential to make ordinary people indifferent and even willing to hand over power, which is indeed a thorny issue. So, is pure socialism really just an unattainable dream?
Bernstein thinks yes, both the Germans and the Soviets agree with him, but why don't the Chinese?
The national identity of the Chinese determines our attitude towards things. We may be a little vague in the little things, but we are never ambiguous in the big things, because we are all tendon people.
The more others say they can't do it, the more they say they can't do it, the more we have to do it. We pursue the dream of a harmonious world, which is our old tradition and our goal.
We have been doing this for thousands of years, from ancient times to the present. No matter how the outside world changes, we will not give up on this dream. Therefore, even if Bernstein or Marx himself came out to tell us that socialism would not work, we would never listen.
We just make it our hobby because we are born with a love of dreaming.
