, an analysis of the problem of the direction of capitalism

Towards prosperity! That's the reality!

The historical trends in the development of capitalism are:

1) New changes in contemporary capitalism.

1.The social productive forces have made tremendous progress and entered a new stage.

2.The capitalist relations of production are constantly being adjusted within the scope of private ownership, and there is a tendency towards the socialization of capital appropriation.

3.The form of bourgeois political rule tends to be perfected.

4.Without harming the fundamental interests of the bourgeoisie, the contemporary capitalist countries have implemented a series of social reform measures to bring about a relative easing of the contradictions between the working class and the bourgeoisie.

2) The essence of contemporary capitalist relations of production.

The basic contradiction of capitalism remains the contradiction between the socialization of production and the private appropriation of the means of production. The new changes in contemporary capitalism have not fundamentally changed the private nature of capitalist appropriation, it is still capitalist private ownership, a higher degree of capitalist private ownership.

(3) The general trend of socialism replacing capitalism.

1.Capitalism prepares a solid material foundation for the establishment of the socialist system.

2.Capitalism provides a mode of operation and management that can be used as a reference for socialist construction.

3.The adjustment and change of capitalist relations of production show the general trend of historical development.

Although capitalism is still showing a trend of development, as far as the ultimate trend of social development is concerned, the replacement of capitalism by socialism is the general historical trend that is not subject to human will.

The establishment and development of the capitalist system in Europe is a tremendous advance in human history. It has created an unprecedentedly huge productive force and accumulated unprecedented social material wealth; It has opened up the world market and continuously liberated the people of various isolated parts of the world from their isolation from each other and gradually integrated them into one; It created political civilization, changed the political landscape of the world, and made the democratic republican system recognized by all civilized nations; The series of operable political norms created by it have proved to be effective social management methods, and they are called the public wealth of human civilization; It makes the concept of democracy and republic deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and makes democracy, equality, freedom, etc. become the common ideals pursued by human society and the indispensable components of the New Year. It has created an unprecedentedly splendid capitalist culture, promoted the rapid development of science and technology, and greatly changed the cultural quality and social values of mankind. While capitalism has these advantages, it also has its drawbacks:

Capitalism pursues surplus value with the greatest desire, causing the social gap between the rich and the poor to intensify, and using blood and fire to invade various ethnic regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The basic contradiction of capitalism The contradiction between socialized mass production and private ownership of the means of production could not be resolved, resulting in the emergence of an economic crisis. In the early days of capitalism, the economy was greatly developed, industrialization was pursued, and environmental degradation was caused.

With the development of production, the gap between the rich and the poor is also increasing, and the laborers are unable to consume so many "surplus products", that is, the reproduction of labor force mentioned by Marx, which has been hindered. Among the four major links of production, exchange, distribution and consumption, the two major links of distribution and consumption have failed. This leads to the economic crisis inherent in capitalism.

Although the class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat can be avoided by adjusting the gap between the rich and the poor through taxation and increasing the spending power of the workers at the bottom through subsidies and credits, capitalism itself is doomed to perish. 1. According to Ma Zhe's law of negation of negation, the development and change of things is spiraling, and everything is up.

There is no precise definition of capitalism, and different economists have different definitions of capitalism.

Generally speaking, capitalism refers to a system of economics or economic sociology, in which the vast majority of the means of production are privately owned, and profits are generated by means of wage labor.

In this system, goods and services circulate in the free market with the help of money. Investment decisions are made by private individuals, and production and marketing are mainly controlled and competed by corporations and businesses, acting in accordance with their respective interests.

The essence of capitalism is: the re-expansion of capital.

The development of capitalism goes through two major stages: free competition capitalism and monopoly capitalism.

The development trend is:

The massive accumulation of capital leads to the emergence of private monopoly capitalism or state monopoly capitalism, which eventually takes control of state power. But in the process there will be constant economic crises, because the contradiction between the socialization of production and the private appropriation of capitalism constitutes the basic contradiction of capitalist society, which cannot be achieved unless the capitalist system is fundamentally abolished.

Because the purpose of capitalist production is to extract the surplus value created by the workers, its political views are inattentive or economic liberalism, so capitalism will do everything in its power to control the state and defend its own interests. ）

1. Form is not substance, employers and servants are just forms, and feudal society also has employers and servants, so it is not.

2. If the bureaucrats, landlords and merchants who have money and power do not invest their money in the purchase of the means of production and labor, and do not reproduce, but mainly consume, they are not capitalists.

1 The essence of capitalist relations of production is the wage labor system based on private ownership of the means of production.

2 A capitalist is a person who owns the means of production and makes a living by exploiting wage labour for surplus value.
