[Guangming Forum · Classic] Choose the occupation that can work best for human beings

【Bright Forum · Classic】

In the speech at the 200th anniversary of Marx's birthday to commemorate Marx's birthday, General Secretary Xi Jinping quoted Marx's widely circulated classic discourse: "If we choose a profession that can work most for humans, then the burden cannot overwhelm us because the burden is over, because the burden cannot overwhelm us because the burden is over, because the burden cannot overwhelm us because the burden is over, because the burden cannot overwhelm us because the burden is over. This is a sacrifice for everyone; at that time, what we enjoyed was not poor, limited, and selfish fun. Our happiness will belong to millions of people. Our career will quietly exist, but it will always be forever In the face of our ashes, noble people will shed tears. "

This paragraph comes from Marx's high school graduation composition "The Treasures of Young people when choosing a career". When he wrote this passage, Marx was only 17 years old, but at that time, he had shown Ling Yun's ambition with lofty ideals and unremitting struggle for human liberation. Although Marx's life, although the hardships and suffering of poverty and illness, his original intention was unchanged and unhappy, and he finally achieved a great life to explore the truth of the truth.

Marx has turned many times in his life, from youth Hegel to Ferbaha Revolutionary Democraticism to communism. However, once his life ideal and value pursuit of values ​​have been established, it has not changed his life, which is "choosing a profession that can work most for humans." This lofty ideal runs through Marx's great life, and it is also the original intention of Marx's "first of all a revolutionary". In the "Communist Declaration", Marx and Engels further sublimated this lofty ideal to scientific beliefs, and officially expressed their familiar sayings that they worked for the ideal society for them: "Replace the bourgeois who existing class and class opposition The old society will be such a consortium. There, the free development of everyone is the condition of all people's free development. "For the general alienation phenomenon caused by capital to human rule, Marx's previous thinkers have also performed by the thinkers of Marx before. The ruthless lash, such as the imaginative socialist Owen, Fourier, San Ximen, etc. we are familiar with. However, they either just stay in theoretical criticism, or mainly complain about emotional complaints, or stop at the beautiful longing for future utopia, and do not find the real path to solve the problem, so they can only stay in the imagination. As Marx and Engels deeply pointed out in the "German Ideology", "although the concept of this change has expressed thousands of times, it has no meaning to actual development." It is also in this sense that Marx deeply pointed out: "Of course, the weapons of critical weapons cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and material strength can only be destroyed with material power; "All society lives in essence" and "philosophers just explain the world in different ways, the problem is to change the world." On the basis of practice, Marxism transcends the theoretical philosophy of old philosophy, and realizes the revolution of philosophy.

Since then, "liberation" is no longer just ideological activities, but a historical activity. The theoretical construction and revolutionary practices of Marx and Engels are based on the liberation of human beings and seeking happiness for the people. The entire theoretical building of Marxism, including the historical view of materialism, political economics, and scientific socialism, are based on the logic of scientific, critical, and revolutionary logic of materialist dialectics. Regarding the essence of Dialectics, Marx made a classic clarification in the post -2 edition of "Capital": "Dialectics, in their reasonable forms, caused the bourgeoisie and the spokesperson of their exaggerated spokespersons, because the dialectical laws are because of the dialectics law In the recognition of existing things, the understanding of the negation of existing things at the same time, that is, the understanding of the inevitable demise of the existing things; To understand temporary aspects; dialectics does not worship anything. According to its essence, it is critical and revolutionary. "According to dialectics, there is no eternal thing, but everything exists as a process of continuous revolution and transcendence. Capitalism is no exception. Each conclusion of the Communist Declaration is not the arbitrary to impose to others, but the truthful power full of dialectical logic. Marx and Engels fully affirmed the historical rationality of the capitalist system, and pointed out that "the productivity created by the bourgeoisie in less than 100 years of class rule is more productive for all generations created in the past. Big ". It is precisely because of the great revolutionary significance of the bourgeoisie and so huge productive forces that capitalism creates in history, which has continuously brought its own inherent contradictions in the process of its own capital logic. "Two inevitable" historical fate. "Capital" is also based on the truthful power of dialectical logic. It fully expands the prerequisite for the role of capital logic, and it is necessary to reach its own boundaries step by step in its expansion process, so as to move towards the historical inevitable of self -denial of communism.

In "Speaking in front of the Marx Tomb", Engels pointed out: "Marx is first of all a revolutionary. His real mission of his life is to participate in the cause of overthrowing capitalist society and its national facilities in this way, to participate in modern times The liberation cause of the proletariat was the first time that he made the modern proletarian aware of his status and needs, and the condition of his liberation. The struggle was his life element. Few people were as enthusiastic and perseverance as him as enthusiastic and unsatisfactory as him. Fighting with Zhuo Zhuo. "Marx's life is for the unremitting struggle of human liberation. The scientific theory he has created has provided a strong spiritual force for the people and transforming the world for the people. The lofty ideals of struggle. Under the guidance of Marxism, once the Communist Party of China was born, it was established to establish happiness for the Chinese people and the revival of the Chinese nation as its original mission. For more than 100 years, the Communist Party of China has united all the struggle, all sacrifice, and all creations of the Chinese people to achieve this lofty ideal and sacred mission. The Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the prosperity of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. In the final analysis, the people's happiness, that is, the pursuit of the core values ​​of Marxism to benefit the people and the core value of most people. The Communist Party of China always adheres to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, puts the people at the highest position in their hearts, and regards the people's longing for a better life as the goal of struggle. Belief inheritance.
