从马克思主义平等观看福利国家与苏联在推进平等过程中的教训

马克思主义认为,平等是一个客观的历史发展过程,是一个类的范畴,是一种相互关系,平等与不平等都是客观的、相对的,在一定条件下可以互相转化。西方福利国家和苏联的实践证明,无论何种社会制度,都不能完全依靠国家强制力自上而下推进平等,而只能顺应时代发展,不断调整政策,使社会在动态平等中不断向前发展。

Marxism deems that equality is a objective course of historic development, is a generic category, and is a kind of interrelation, both equality and inequality are objective and relative, and can be interchangeable under the certain condition. But the practices in west welfare countries and in Russia proved that whichever social systems all can not depend on state＇s compulsion to officially prod the equality, but could only conform to the times development, continually adjust policies, and make the society constantly progress in dynamic equality.
