论欧盟向社会主义的过渡

Transition to Socialism in the European Union

本文旨在为欧盟等资本主义经济体过渡为社会主义经济体的必须步骤提供一个大致的框架,并提出了具体的政策措施。这些措施与20世纪欧洲传统社会民主主义政策有很大的不同,其主要区别在于:(1)主张首先采取措施来消灭剥削,然后再实现生产资料公有制;(2)主张采取激进措施来反对私人和公共债务积累;(3)认为向社会主义的过渡,不应是发生在单个欧洲国家,而应是在欧洲地区或整个欧洲大陆层面;(4)将马克思主义的劳动价值论作为货币政策的实际指导;(5)主张欧盟的财政基础应由收入和财产的间接累退税转变为直接累进税。

This article attempts to outline the economic steps that would be necessary to convert a capitalist economy like the EU into a socialist one. We examine the issue in very concrete terms and propose specific policy measures. The measures we propose differ significantly from the tradition of 20th century European Social Democracy. The main differences are 1) that we advocate measures to abolish exploitation prior to measures to take the means of production into public ownership; 2) that we advocate radical action against the accumulation of debt both private and public; 3) we see the transition to socialism as something that has to take place at a regional or continental level rather than within individual European nation states; 4) we take the Marxian labor theory of value as practical guide in monetary policy; 5) we argue for a shift in the financial basis of the EU from indirect taxes which are regressive to direct progressive taxes on income and property.
