Through Industrial Revolution , mankind has entered the industrial age from a long agricultural society, forming a drastic change, and thus the so-called major changes that have not been seen in three thousand years and major changes that have not been seen in a century. It also brings two problems that must be solved for mankind, namely political democracy and economic market. If humans cannot solve these two problems well, they will not be able to enter the industrial society and can only continue to stay in the agricultural society and continue to wander outside the gate of the industrial society.
The traditional agricultural society is a society determined by capital, and it is also a society determined by capital occupiers' autocratic dictatorship and agricultural feudalism. There will be neither democracy nor market, so we collectively call it capitalist society . The reason why democracy and markets were only found in the industrial era is that due to the changes in production methods and social organization methods, it is necessary to use democratic methods to scientifically solve the governance problems of society and organization, and use market methods to scientifically solve the distribution problems of labor and products, and can no longer be solved by agricultural feudalism and autocracy of capital.
Some people say that in the industrial age, can these two tools be used to solve political and economic problems? Definitely not possible. Not to mention that humans continue to promote the industrial revolution under these two slogans, the democracy and market that modern Western capitalism, which is spoken and claimed by modern Western capitalism, has not done it according to the principles of democracy and market, or has not given democracy and market the broadest masses of the people, but has just kept democracy and market verbally and within the bourgeoisie, which has led to their society that can only continue to repeat the cycle problems of traditional agricultural society and capitalist society, but has only made some changes in form.
After the Soviet Union established the Soviet regime through the socialist revolution , it hoped to bypass democracy and the market to directly establish socialism and communism, which led to the Soviet Union finally falling into bureaucratic capitalism in politics and unable to extricate itself, and economically moving towards oligopoly on without awakening. When reforms were required, they did not make changes according to scientific democracy and markets, but instead imitated the pseudo-democracy and pseudo-markets of modern Western capitalism, and eventually failed, leading to the disintegration of the country, the exploration of the socialist road ended, and began to be lost outside the door of industrial society and could not find the door. One of the most important and basic reasons for this is that they have never solved the problems of democracy and the market. Including the international development of hegemony and forced division of labor, and not about democracy and market, it has led to the entire socialist camp being firmly tied together and being controlled by the Soviet bureaucratic capital monopoly group. When problems arise in the Soviet Union, the entire so-called socialist camp also quickly collapsed.
So, whether it is the modern Western capitalist country or the socialist country that is exploring, if you want to enter the industrial society, you must solve the two problems of democracy and market. In fact, democracy and the market promote and restrict each other. To build a market, you must establish support and achieve it through democracy. To engage in democracy, we must also establish a foundation and strengthen understanding through the market. It can be said that democracy is a political market, and the market is economic democracy. Without real democracy, there will be no real market. Conversely, there is no real market, and there is no real democracy. True democracy and market are industrial society, that is, socialism and communism.
But no matter what, if we can study, reform and innovate around these two issues, we may grasp the main problems and main contradictions of things, which is equivalent to grasping the bull's nose of reform and opening up, correcting the direction of our reform and opening up, avoiding all kinds of deviations from left and right, and avoiding the swaying and confrontation from left and right, resulting in the tearing of our society on the left and right, and then we can unite all progressive forces to concentrate on exploring the establishment of democracy and market that adapts to the needs of industrial social development, establishing the institutional structure of industrial society and socialist society , and enriching it, we can establish a socialist society that adapts to the needs of industrial social development.
Agricultural society is a capitalist society, and industrial society is a socialist society. The replacement of agricultural society and capitalist society after the Industrial Revolution is an industrial society and socialist society. If we want to explore the establishment of a socialist society, we must explore and innovate in accordance with the development needs of the industrial society. The reason why modern Western capitalist society did not lead mankind into the industrial society is essentially that they did not establish scientific democracy and market. To limit democracy to their bourgeoisie, it is either to turn democracy into a formality. As for the market, they did not understand exchange in the broadest sense or in the most fundamental sense. Instead, they generalized and commercialized the market, and then rigidized the market concept, turning the market into a market under capital monopoly. They believed that marketization was commercialization, and there was no democracy and market within economic organizations, and they became monopoly of owners and autocratic dictatorship and agricultural feudalism. They returned to the traditional agricultural society and capitalist society, and accelerated the two-level differentiation and became nature.
If we firmly believe that industrial society is a socialist society, and only by using socialist society can mankind truly understand, understand and experience industrial society, we must explore and innovate in accordance with the needs of industrial society development and explore the establishment of a socialist society according to the needs of industrial society development. The most basic needs of an industrial society are democracy and the market. Exploring the establishment of a socialist society that meets the needs of the development of the industrial society must solve the two problems of democracy and the market. Modern Western capitalist countries have not solved these two problems well. If we can solve these two problems well, we can lead mankind to be the first to enter industrial society and socialist society and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
