世界体系的裂变与中国共产党的成立

Dichotomy of the World-System and the Founding of CPC

本文从现代世界政治体系演变的视野理解中国共产党的成立这一历史事件。1840年以来,中国被纳入西方列强支配的资本主义-帝国主义世界体系并外围化。清末民初,各种思想和政治力量被锁定于此体系之中,中国无力摆脱半殖民地的困境。俄国革命胜利,使得这一世界体系局部崩塌;共产国际成立,构建了一个反抗性的革命世界体系,中国共产党生发于其中,从一开始就积极地利用世界规模的革命资源;毛泽东的历史意义则在于自觉保持中国共产党在此体系中之独立自主,创造性地以世界性思想和组织资源构建内生性的中国革命力量,此为革命胜利之本。

This paper attempts to interpret the founding of the Communist Party of China from the perspective of evolution of the modern political world-system.Since 1840,China has been included in the capitalist-imperialist world system dominated by Western powers,but has been left in the periphery.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China,various ideological and political forces were locked in this system,and China was since unable to shake itself off the shackles of being a semi-colonial country.The victory of the Soviet-Russian revolution caused the partial collapse of this world system,and the establishment of the Communist International formed a rebellious revolutionary world system in which the Chinese Communist Party was born and endowed with world-scale revolutionary resources from the very beginning.Mao Zedong’s historical significance lies in his consciously maintaining the independence of the Chinese Communist Party in this system and creatively building an endogenous Chinese revolutionary force by drawing from worldwide thought and organizational resources.This accounts for the victory of the communist revolution in China.
