Why does it take a long time to say the primary stage

The landlord's statement is biased, and it cannot be said that the primary stage of socialism will take a long time, but it should be said that Chinese society is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain in it for a long time. Because different countries have different national conditions, they cannot be generalized.

The reason why China has to remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time is determined by China's national conditions, and fundamentally speaking, it is determined by the historical conditions under which China has entered socialism and the material foundation needed to build socialism. A communist society is a society with highly developed productive forces. Originally, Marx envisaged that the socialist revolution must be carried out in a highly developed capitalist country.

Because only such a country can have sufficiently developed productive forces to carry out a socialist revolution and then realize communism. However, the Soviet Union and China completed the socialist revolution with extremely low productivity. said:

Although we are now practicing socialism, in fact we are not qualified. This kind of "inadequacy" is not enough to enter the "lower stage of communism" as Marx said. This is mainly due to the inadequacy of the material and technical base, and also to the immaturity of the socio-economic system and superstructure.

From 1956, when the socialist transformation of the public ownership of the means of production was basically completed, to the basic realization of socialist modernization in the middle of the 21 st century, it will take at least 100 years for the initial stage of socialism in our country. However, since the development of socialism, we have never truly achieved modernization. said:

What is modernization? The fifties were the same, the sixties were different, and the seventies were even different. ”

The modernization of Marx's period was mechanized large-scale industrial production, and Lenin's era was electrified production, and we are now facing a new scientific and technological revolution marked by informationization, and the connotation of the so-called "modernization" required by socialism is constantly developing, and we have never realized it, but we are only catching up. Although our comprehensive national strength has been growing at a high speed, it is because we have a low starting point and great potential. In fact, our development is still very immature.

Our goal is to basically realize socialist modernization by the middle of this century, which shows the arduous task of China's development. All these have determined that China must go through a very long initial stage before it can enter a stage in which the productive forces are relatively developed and the socialist system is relatively mature.

For example, two athletes who have run 10,000 meters, one has already run 2 kilometers, and the other has just started running, and the latter needs to be fast and take time to catch up with the former. China is the latter.

The basic meaning of the primary stage of socialism is that it does not refer to the initial stage that any country will go through when it enters socialism, but specifically refers to the specific stage that the construction of socialism will inevitably go through under the conditions of backward productive forces and underdeveloped commodity economy in our country. That is, the entire historical stage from the basic completion of socialist transformation in 1956 to the basic realization of socialist modernization in the middle of the 21st century.

The theory of the primary stage of socialism was gradually formed on the basis of summing up the historical development since the founding of the first socialist country, especially the historical experience and lessons of the tortuous development of China's socialist construction. It is the first time in the history of the development of Marxism that a new concept of "the primary stage of socialism" has been proposed, which has a specific connotation.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, on the basis of summing up the historical experience since the founding of New China and the new practical experience since the reform of the reform and opening up, the party carried out new explorations on the historical stage of socialism in our country, gradually made a scientific conclusion that our country is still in the primary stage of socialism and will be for a long time to come, and accurately grasped the basic national conditions of our country.

At present, China is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time.

The assertion that China is currently in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time includes the following three meanings: Our society is already a socialist society.

We must persist in the socialist orientation and not deviate from it.

Socialism in our country is still in its initial stage. When we think about problems, do things, and make decisions, we must proceed from the reality of the initial stage, and we must not go beyond the stage and rush to achieve success and destroy the hidden.

This initial stage is a fairly long historical process of balancing difficulties. We must work hard for a long time and not slack off in the slightest.

On the one hand, after the founding of New China.

Initial socialist transformation.

Our country has entered a socialist society; After 60 years of development, the socialist society became more vigorous and vigorous. The conspicuous sign of this is that our country has adhered to the basic principles of scientific socialism, has not lost its ancestors, and has always adhered to dialectical materialism.

and historical materialism as the theoretical cornerstone, and insist on realizing communism.

As the highest ideal, we should persist in taking the political party of the working class as the core of leadership, persist in taking the liberation and development of the productive forces as the fundamental task, firmly uphold the fundamental interests of representing the broadest masses of the people, persist in taking public ownership and distribution according to work as the foundation of the socialist economic system, persist in taking the people as the masters of the country as the essential characteristics of socialist democratic politics, and persist in reforming and perfecting the socialist system.

and institutional mechanisms, and so on.

The scientific connotation of the primary stage of socialism is: China's society is already a socialist society, and we must adhere to it and not leave it; China's socialist society is still in its infancy.

The primary stage mentioned here refers specifically to the specific historical stage that China will inevitably go through in building socialism under the conditions of low level of development of productive forces and underdeveloped commodity economy.

It will take at least 100 years for the initial stage of socialism to take at least 100 years from the basic completion of the socialist transformation of the private ownership of filial piety in 1956 to the basic realization of socialist modernization in the middle of the 21st century.

Development strategy

First, the development strategy of "three-step renting group celery".

The first step is to double the gross national product from 1981 to 1990 compared with 1980 and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

The second step is to double the gross national product from 1991 to the end of the 20 th century, and the people's living standards will reach a moderately prosperous level.

The third step is to double the gross national product by the middle of the 21 st century, so that the per capita gross national product will reach the level of a moderately developed country, the people will live a relatively prosperous life, and modernization will be basically realized.

2. Build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

Building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way is the goal of the party and the country by 2020, and it is the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups across the country.

First, it is necessary to enhance the coordination of development and strive to achieve sound and rapid economic development.

Second, it is necessary to expand socialist democracy and better protect the rights and interests of the people and social fairness and justice.

Third, it is necessary to strengthen cultural construction and markedly improve the quality of civilization of the whole nation.

Fourth, it is necessary to speed up the development of social undertakings and improve the people's living standards in an all-round way.

Fifth, it is necessary to build an ecological civilization and basically form an industrial structure, growth mode, and consumption pattern that conserves energy resources and protects the ecological environment.

The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that the primary stage of socialism has two meanings:

First, our society is already a socialist society. We must hold on, not leave socialism.

Second, socialism in our country is still in its infancy. We must proceed from this reality and not go beyond this stage.

The first layer clarifies the social nature of the primary stage, while the latter layer clarifies the degree of development of the socialist society in China. As far as the nature of society is concerned, China is a socialist country, the people are the masters of the country, and all the power of the state belongs to the people's chain. As far as the degree of development is concerned, socialism in our country is still in its infancy.

China is in the initial stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time. Zhong Yanchang's assertion is the historical position of China's society at the present stage. This assertion has two implications:

First, Chinese society is already a socialist society, and we must adhere to the basic principles of socialism and not deviate from the direction of socialism. Second, socialism in China is still in its initial stage. Everything proceeds from the reality of the primary stage, and we cannot go beyond the stage and rush for success.

The organic unity of the two is the prescriptive nature of China's society at the present stage. This is the most basic national condition and the greatest reality of our country at the present stage.

Meaning of the primary stage: Contemporary China is now in the first stage of socialist development, that is, the "primary stage": it refers to a specific historical stage in the construction of socialism under the conditions of China's economic and cultural backwardness.

The basic characteristics of the initial stage of socialism are manifested in the coexistence of two natures: advanced and backward.

The characteristics of the primary stage of socialism can be summarized as follows:

1) This stage is a historical stage in which we gradually shake off the state of underdevelopment and basically realize socialist modernization.

ii).At this stage, agricultural countries accounted for a large proportion of the population, and agricultural countries that relied mainly on manual labor gradually transformed into industrialized countries with modern agriculture and service industries.

3) This stage is a historical stage in which the natural economy and the semi-natural economy account for a large proportion and gradually transform the economy to a relatively high degree of marketization.

4) This stage is a historical stage in which the proportion of illiterate and semi-literate people is very large, and the culture of science, technology, education, and culture is backward, and it is gradually transformed into a historical stage in which the culture of science, technology, education, and culture is relatively developed.

5) This stage is a historical stage in which the poor population accounts for a large proportion and the people's living standards are relatively low, and gradually changes to the relatively prosperous stage of the entire people.

6) This process is a historical stage in which the regional economy and culture are very unbalanced, and the gap is gradually narrowed through the development of the first and the last.

7) This stage is a historical stage in which a relatively mature and energetic socialist market economic system, a socialist democratic political system, and other systems are established and perfected through reform and exploration.

8) This stage is a stage in which the broad masses of the people firmly establish the common ideal of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, make unremitting efforts to improve themselves, forge ahead with determination, work hard, build the country through diligence and thrift, and strive to build spiritual civilization while building material civilization.

9) This stage is a historical stage in which the gap between the world's advanced levels and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the basis of socialism will be gradually narrowed.

In short, these aspects not only understand the basic national conditions of the initial stage of socialism, but also comprehensively put forward the historical tasks and objectives of the initial stage of socialism, and also reflect the essence of the initial stage of socialism in our country from different aspects. Since the initial stage of socialism is a dynamic process of development, with the gradual realization of socialist modernization and the gradual maturity and perfection of the socialist system, the above-mentioned basic characteristics will also change accordingly, among which the advanced and positive factors will continue to expand, and the negative and backward factors will also gradually shrink.

How to understand the scientific connotation and basic characteristics of the primary stage of socialism?

The scientific concept of the primary stage of socialism contains two basic meanings: First, in terms of social nature, China's society is already a socialist society. We must persevere, not drift away from socialism.

Second, in terms of the degree of development, socialism in our country is not yet mature and imperfect, and it is still in its initial stage. We must proceed from this reality and not go beyond this stage.

The basic characteristics of the primary stage of socialism are as follows. It is pointed out that the primary stage of socialism is the historical stage of gradually getting rid of the state of underdevelopment and basically realizing socialist modernization; Second, it has gradually transformed from an agricultural country with a large proportion of the agricultural population and mainly relying on manual labor to an industrialized country with a majority of the non-agricultural population and modern agriculture and modern service industries. Third, the natural economy and semi-natural economy account for a large proportion, and gradually transform into a historical stage with a high degree of economic marketization; Fourth, the illiterate and semi-literate population accounted for a large proportion and the science, technology, education, and culture were backward, and gradually turned into a historical stage in which science, technology, education, and culture were relatively developed; Fifth, from a large proportion of the poor population and a relatively low living standard of the people, it has gradually changed to a historical stage in which the entire population is relatively rich; Sixth, because the regional economy and culture are very unbalanced, through the development of the first and the last, the gap is gradually narrowed; Seventh, it is a historical stage in which a relatively mature and dynamic socialist market economic system, a socialist democratic political system, and other systems are established and perfected through reform and exploration; Eighth, it is a historical stage in which the broad masses of the people firmly establish the common ideal of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, make unremitting efforts to improve themselves, forge ahead with determination, work hard, build the country through diligence and thrift, and strive to build spiritual civilization while building material civilization. Ninth, it is a historical stage in which we will gradually narrow the gap with the advanced level of the world and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the basis of socialism.
