摘要
As early as the revolutionary wars, Mao Zedong clearly pointed out the future path of the Chinese revolution： to go through the new democratic revolution and advance uninterruptedly into the stage of socialist revolution, and finally to build socialism and communism. After the founding of the People＇s Republic of China, he created and continuously improved the socialist economic system and the corresponding political system, led the large-scale socialist economic, political and cultural construction, established the institutional preconditions, ideological guarantees and material basis for socialism with Chinese characteristics, and brouglat about a favorable external environment for China＇s socialist construction. During this process, Mao originated a series of theories about China＇s socialist construction. In proposing to achieve the second combination of the universal truth of Marxism with China＇s realities and to go China＇s own way and explore a path of building socialism which suits China＇s national conditions and has Chinese characteristics, he madea great theoretical contribution to the history of China＇s socialist development. His ideas provided ample ideological gestation and theoretical preparation for the second historic leap of the sinicization of Marxism. They served not only as the starting point of the history and logic of the theory, road and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics but also as one of the guiding principles of China＇s revolution, construction and reform. Mao＇s exploration left us with experience of success and lessons from mistakes, both of which enabled us to store up valuable experience and important inspiration for today＇s construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, whether in terms of historical practice or theoretical logic, Mao is the great founder, explorer and pioneer of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
毛泽东在革命战争年代就指明了中国革命的前途,即通过新民主主义革命不间断地进入到社会主义革命,最终建设社会主义和共产主义。新中国成立后,毛泽东创建并不断完善社会主义经济制度以及与之相适应的政治制度,领导了大规模的社会主义经济、政治和文化建设,奠定了中国特色社会主义的制度前提、思想保证、物质基础,创造了社会主义建设的有利外部环境。在这个过程中,毛泽东创造了一系列独创性的关于中国社会主义建设的理论成果,提出实现马克思主义普遍真理同中国实际的第二次结合,走自己的路,探索适合中国国情、具有中国特点的社会主义建设道路。这是毛泽东在中国社会主义发展史上的重大理论贡献,为实现马克思主义中国化第二次历史性飞跃做了充分的思想酝酿与理论准备,不仅是中国特色社会主义理论、道路、制度形成的历史和逻辑的起点,而且是中国革命、建设和改革的一条指导原则。毛泽东在探索中既留下了成功的经验,也留下了失误的教训,这两方面都为当今中国特色社会主义建设积累了宝贵经验和重要启示。因此,不论是从历史实践上还是从理论逻辑上说,毛泽东都是中国特色社会主义事业的伟大奠基者、探索者和先行者。
