毛泽东：社会主义中国的奠基人

Mao Zedong:Founder of Socialist China

新中国成立后,毛泽东把马克思、列宁关于过渡时期的理论与中国的实际相结合,领导全党和全国人民适时开展对农业、手工业和资本主义工商业的社会主义改造,确立了生产资料社会主义公有制的主体地位;进一步巩固了人民民主专政的国体和人民代表大会制度的政体;并逐步树立起马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位,使中国顺利实现了由新民主主义社会向社会主义社会的过渡。这些为当代中国一切发展进步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础。

After the founding of New China Mao Zedong combined the theory of Marx and Lenin about the transitional period with the actual conditions in China and led the whole Party and the Chinese people in launching the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicraft and capitalist industry and commerce, thus establishing the dominant position of socialist public ownership of means of production. Under his leadership New China also adopted the state system of people＇ s democratic dictatorship and the government system of people ＇ s congresses and gradually set up the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, steering China smoothly through the transition from a new democratic to a socialist society. All these laid fundamental political preconditions and institutional foundation for the development and progress in contemporary China.
