世界共产党与社会民主党百年关系述要(下)

A Brief Account of the Relations between the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party of the World in the Past Century(continued)

从源流的角度讲,在19世纪,虽然存在以“社会民主党”和“共产党”命名的政党,但并不存在现代意义上的两党之间的关系。到20世纪初叶,同母同源的社会民主党出现了兄弟阋墙、分道扬镳的局面:其左派改称为“共产党”,即社会民主党共产党化;其右派和中派承袭了社会民主党既有的外壳,内核则渐渐“异化”,并从组织上趋于统一。由此,世界工人运动中形成了共产党人与社会民主党人两分天下、互相对峙的格局;其后,两党虽曾一度有过接触与合作,但最终也未能补“天裂”。这种格局甚至影响到21世纪的今天。

Talking about their origin, the political parties named as 'social democratic party' and 'communist party' started since the 19~th century but there was no such relationship between them existing today. Later in the early years of the 20~th century,the two political parties of the same origin started to go different ways. The left faction is called the communist party, i.e. ,communism of the social democratic party. Meanwhile.the right and middle factions inherited the shell of the social democratic party in appearance but started alienation in essence ,gradually achieving unification organizationally. Hence. the situation in which the communist party and the social democratic party confronted with each other and each going its own way came into emergence. In spite of historical contacts and cooperation between the two parties,they have failed to bridge over their 'difference',resulting in the present situation in the 21~st century.
