如何理解邓小平对社会主义“没有完全搞清楚”的论断

On the Interpretations of Deng Xiaoping's Judgment of "the Full Picture of Socialism Remains to Be Seen"

社会主义观是社会主义的元理论,它决定并制约着回答、解决社会主义其他一系列问题的性质和方向。有什么样的社会主义观,就会有什么样建设社会主义的途径与方法,也相应地就会有什么样的社会主义发展道路与历史命运。在过去很长历史时期里,正是由于我们对什么是社会主义"没有完全搞清楚",结果导致一连串比较大的失误和挫折。概括起来说,过去我们对社会主义主要有八个方面"没有完全搞清楚"。澄清这些问题,总结其中的经验教训,对于中国特色社会主义事业乃至世界社会主义运动的健康发展都具有极为重要的理论和现实意义。

As the meta-theory of socialism, the outlook on socialism determines how to understand and address the issues concerning socialism. Put another way, how to answer the question of what is socialism shapes the way we build and develop socialism. Over a long period of time in the past, we made a series of blunders in building socialism simply because we failed to see a full picture of socialism. To sum up, there are eight questions of socialism remains to be fully understood. Answering these questions successfully and learning lessons from mistakes are both theoretically and practically essential to the sound development of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the world socialist movement as a whole.
