论社会革命与社会现代化

Revolution and Modernization

本文认为，在社会革命与社会现代化之间，以解放和发展生产力为桥梁，形成这样一种关系：只有打破旧的生产关系，解放生产力，才能发展生产力，实现社会现代化；而要解放生产力，必须进行社会革命。对于这种关系，人们常常称之为前提关系，实际上这是一种包含关系，即社会革命包含于社会现代化过程之中，这是社会革命与社会现代化之间的内在联系。从世界范围来看，资本主义现代化与近代资产阶级革命是紧密联系在一起的，中国民主主义革命和社会主义革命是中国社会现代化过程中一个不可缺少的阶段。

Between social revolution and modernization of the society is the bridge of liberation and development of productive forces. This can be illustrated as follows: After the old production relations are smashed by social revolution,productivity is liberated and then developed,which will lead to modernization of the society. This kind of relation is generally referred to as a pre requisite relation. This article,however,holds a different view. According to the author,the relation between revolution and modernization is one of mutual containing:that is, social revolution is one of the steps in the process of modernization. In the global scene,modernization of capitalist countries had been intimately linked with capitalist revolutions. In the same sense, the Chinese democratic revolution and socialist revolution are of an indispensable period in the process of modernization of China.
