论列宁与马克思恩格斯资本主义观的差异

The Different View of Capitalism between Lenin and Marx-Engels

列宁与马克思恩格斯在对资本主义的看法上是存在着深刻差异的。如果说马克思恩格斯对资本主义的基本立场是肯定基础上的否定的话,那么在列宁那里则是否定的一面始终占据绝对主导。列宁早年虽也曾发表过一系列肯定资本主义进步意义的言论,但那与其说是为了肯定,不如说是为了更有效、彻底地否定。列宁与马克思恩格斯资本主义观的这种巨大差异导致了他们不同的理论与实践活动的走向:马克思恩格斯能够与时俱进地看待资本主义的新变化,并在此基础上不断修正那些被事实证明是不正确的理论观点,而列宁则始终坚守传统观念,最终走上了在极端落后的俄国通过暴力革命阻断资本主义发展进程的道路。

Lenin＇s view of capitalism is remarkably different with that of Marx and Engels. While the basic judgment of Marx and Engels about capitalism is negation on the base of acceptation, the negative attitude to capitalism is dominant for Lenin. Some early approving words to capitalism said by Lenin mainly aim to completely and effectively gainsay capitalism, rather than real approval. The fundamentally different view of capitalism between Lenin and Marx-Engels prompts them to take different orientation both in theory and practice： Marx and Engels could modify their attitude to capitalism, especially to the fresh changes, and continually revise their theory which is proven to be incorrect, but Lenin consistently insists his traditional argument and eventually stopped the development of capitalism with violent revolution in the unenlightened Russia.
