对社会主义本质的认识发生重大转变的深层思考

对社会主义本质的重新认识已成为世界社会主义思潮的大趋势,众多国家的左翼政党和左翼学者对社会主义本质的认识都从传统的体制特征本质论转变为价值目的本质论。导致这种转变的原因是由于体制特征本质论越来越不能作为区分社会主义与资本主义的依据,并在社会主义实践中产生了严重的恶果和价值目的本质论更为科学,这种转变必将对社会主义运动、理论和实践产生重大影响。将邓小平关于社会主义本质的理论,放在世界社会主义思潮的大趋势中来观察,有利于加深对其理论意义和实践意义的理解。

Reflection upon Great Changes of Socialist Essence Understanding

Since the reconsideration of socialist essence became the main trend of socialist thoughts in the world, the left-wing parties and scholars in many countries have changed their understanding of socialist essence, namely from the traditional system characters to value and goal ones. The main causes are the facts that the system character of the socialist essence can not be used as a yardstick to distinguish socialism from capitalism, which has already resulted in serious problems in socialist practice, and that the value goal of the socialist essence is more scientific. This transformation will exert significant impact on socialist movement, theory and practice. Therefore it's more meaningful for us to understand better the theoretic and practical significance of Deng Xiao-pings theory about the essence of socialism in the main trend of world socialist thoughts.
