“八级工资制”引发的两次批评

Two Critiques about the System of 8 level Wages

1951年,"八级工资制"出台后,先后遭到托派人士的反对和党内"左"派的批评,二者的出发点都是对绝对平等的追求。两次争论实际上蕴藏着这样一个问题:如果容许无产阶级革命后仍然存在不平等,那么为什么要进行以消灭一切不平等为宗旨的无产阶级革命?这一点,也是建国后"左"倾思想产生的背景之一。

After the system of 8-level wages was taken into action in 1951, it was rejected by the section of Trotskyism and the Left-Wing of C.C.P.. The aims of them were both for absolute equality. Two disputes implied such a question: if we tolerated non-equality after the proletarian revolution, why did we want to take the proletarian revolution whose aim was to eliminate every non-equalities? This question was a background of the thought of Left-Wing after 1949.
