以分配为标志的社会公正是历史前进的力量

Social Justice Based on Distribution is the Driving Force of Historical Progress

孔子说不患寡患不均。寡,即社会物质消费资料少,这一问题需在全社会物质生产中解决。在马克思主义看来,生产力的发展就是解决"寡"的问题。但是,生产力的发展创造了更多的物质财富,如何分,则是一个大问题。正是在分的问题上,形成了阶级、阶层和各种利益集团。不是寡,而是不均,使社会划分为阶级,使历史成为阶级斗争史。在建设中国特色社会主义社会的实践中,社会财富分配中的均与不均仍然是一个考察社会现实的重大维度。只有以分配为标志的社会公正问题解决了,才能建设和谐社会,才能实现可持续发展。

Confucius believed that man concerns not with scarcity but with uneven distribution.The problem of 'scarcity' means limited materials in the society,which needs to be dealt with through social material production.From the view of Marxism,the aim of productivity development is nothing but to resolve the problem of 'scarcity'.Then,how to distribute the increasing material wealth created by a continually improved productivity has become a big issue.It is the distribution pattern that forms classes,ranks and various kinds of interest groups.It is uneven distribution,rather than scarcity,that made the society differentiate into classes,and human history a fighting history among classes.Although China has no classes nowadays,even or uneven distribution of social wealth is till the only scale to measure the degree of social justice for our socialism with Chinese characteristics.It can be said that even today,man still concerns not about scarcity but uneven distribution.Only after the problem of social justice that signified by distribution being resolved can we establish a harmonious society and realize the sustainable development.
