The new era needs a new "socialist transformation"

Those familiar with the history of the economic development of New China will never forget the vigorous "socialist transformation" carried out in the early days of the founding of New China. This "transformation" can be regarded as the earliest economic "reform" of New China. It is precisely because of the great "socialist transformation" carried out by the Chinese government in a timely and successful manner that the new China is in trouble in the old China. On the basis of the economy, quickly find a way to cure the various ills left over from the various old systems, and put the construction of New China on the right track and in the right direction in the shortest time. This unprecedented "socialist transformation" has greatly mobilized all social strata, industries, industries, and individuals into the tide of socialist construction . People's enthusiasm for socialist construction and enthusiasm for sharing the country's worries have become an important driving force for promoting social change and developing the socialist economic foundation. The liberation of productivity, the improvement of production relations, and the release of productivity have ensured the smooth transformation and revitalization of the new China's economy. The " one transformation and three reforms " completed in three years (socialist industrialization, agriculture, handicraft industry, and capitalist industrial and commercial transformation, marking China's entry into the "primary stage of socialism."

This is an epoch-making progress in China , A great leap. Almost all of China’s subsequent success came from the success of this “socialist transformation” that year.

The subsequent leap and growth of the new Chinese economy all benefited from the successful “socialist transformation”. The great "reform" attempt laid a solid foundation for the implementation of China's reform and opening up policy after 1978.

Reviewing and summarizing the experience of "socialist transformation" that year has special practical significance.

Chairman Mao proposed in September 1952 that China needed 10-15 years to complete the "socialist transition" task. By August 1953, this vision became more concrete: China would take 50 to 70 years ,In other words, during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, "China can be built into a powerful socialist country."

China is now entering the 14th Five-Year Plan period, and everything has been developed in accordance with the strategic plan of the Chinese Communist Party that year. Although there have been some twists and turns and some detours, the general direction of China's development has never been shaken or changed.

At the critical moment of China's economic development to the 14th Five-Year Plan, we have reached the stage of a new "socialist transformation" in a new era.

During the more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China's production relations, means of production, and productivity, especially the market economy's impact on the original system and mechanism, have brought about radical changes in China's capital and economic relations. "Resources, capital, and information" have become the main driving force for the rapid development of China's economy. These "disruptive" impacts have changed the original industry and industry structure, and even changed people's subjective perceptions of market laws and market values. The society worships the power of capital, despises laws and rules, and despises social fairness and basic laws.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to carry out a new era of , a new "socialist transformation" under the new situation and new tasks, let the derailed return to the right path, let the crooked start again, in a word, it is to correct the chaos.

The "socialist transformation" initiated seventy years ago solved the problem of "survival" in China, and the new era "socialist transformation" to be carried out now is to solve the problem of sustainable "development" in China.

After 70 years, discussing the necessity and urgency of the new "socialist transformation" is of special significance. Although the two eras, the content and form of "reconstruction" in the two periods are quite different.

The current international situation is volatile, and various unstable factors have a lot of interference to China.Very big. China will face the challenge of how to "survive" and how to "development" for a long time.

In the past, we used to say that the "right to survival" is the most important. Without "survival", how can "development" come from. A small number of Western politicians always want to find all kinds of excuses to restrict the "right to subsistence" of developing countries such as China. When China has gained a firm foothold and is about to develop, the West will do everything possible to get stuck on China, delink it, and deprive China and other developing countries of the "right to development." Now we are more awake than ever: we need not only the “right to survival”, but also the “right to development”, because we are well aware of where “survival” comes from without “development”. Without the “right to development”, the “right to survive” Without any meaning, it will become empty talk. "If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached."

Development is the last word, this sentence is justified!

To solve the challenge of "sustainable development", China still needs to carry out "socialist transformation" and "socialist reform" in depth, and make unremitting efforts to complete the building of a well-off society in an all-round way!
