Equityism, non-egalitarianism, we were thirty years ago
There are those who have always insisted that the first 30 years of our country were an egalitarian distribution system, and no matter how you interpret it, they are reluctant to change their views.
This reflects the long-term influence of historical nihilism, which has become so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it is difficult to eliminate. In fact, the fact that our country has briefly practiced "communist style" and absolute egalitarianism in the past 30 years is considered a wrong tendency and has been corrected.
The correct distribution system is "distribution according to work".
At the Zhengzhou Conference on February 26, 1959, ** discussed the distribution of income in the commune with the head of the Henan Provincial Party Committee. He noted that the way of distribution should also be different due to the different numbers and levels of production of the teams.
Some communes may be rich, some may be poor, some may be medium, and the ranks within the commune may also be poor, medium, and rich.
We should explain to the rich team that last year they contributed some and this year we are no longer poaching from them. In addition, more work should be encouraged, and less work should be encouraged to increase everyone's motivation.
Although the members of the rich team are also laborers, we cannot let the poor team dig into the welfare of the rich team. At the same time, the criteria for the distribution of food should also be different in order to reward those who work hard, not to discourage them.
We want to fill the gap of the poor by raising their living standards so that they reach the level of the rich, not by stripping the rich of their wealth. This is fair and reasonable, otherwise it is an unreasonable encroachment on the fruits of other people's labor. "
Background of the meeting: At the Second Zhengzhou Conference held from February 27 to March 5, 1959, in order to correct the exaggerated and communist style, the following fourteen sentences were put forward as guidelines for the rectification and construction of the people's commune: 1Unified leadership, team-based.
2.Hierarchical management and decentralization. 3.* Accounting, profit and loss on each side. 4.The distribution plan is determined by the company. 5.Appropriate accumulation and reasonable adjustment.
6.Material labor, equivalent exchange. 7.Distribute according to work, recognize differences. These 14 sentences emphasize the need to practice the principles of unified leadership, hierarchical management, decentralization, distribution according to work, and equal exchange in the building of the people's communes, so as to achieve justice and fairness and improve the people's living standards.
To each according to his ability, according to his work" is a distribution system that we are familiar with, and it reflects the basic principles of the first thirty years. In practice, we allocate resources according to this principle.
However, some people with ulterior motives misinterpreted the problems caused by the mistakes of the communist style in that period as the distribution system of that era, which led many people to form an erroneous view of history.
We should take a correct view of history, take history as a mirror, and keep moving forward.
Over the past 30 years, although we have adhered to the system of distribution according to work, we have not forgotten those who need special care, such as the five-guarantee households, the disabled and the families of military martyrs.
We implement the principles of communism and ensure that the disadvantaged groups in society have adequate livelihood security, so that they no longer feel helpless and hopeless. This policy not only safeguards social fairness and justice, but also promotes social stability and development.
Over the past three decades, our system of distribution can be described as equitable, not egalitarian.
