毛泽东的农民动力论思想及其现实意义

Power of Peasants Theory of Mao Zedong Thought and its Practical Significance

农民是无产阶级革命和社会主义建设的动力还是阻力,马克思主义经典作家曾就这个问题做出过古典式结论,认为农民具有阶级二重性或固有缺陷,从而更多地关注其消极面即衣民的反动性和落后性。毛泽东在将马克思主义理论中国化的实践过程中,与时俱进、开拓创新,辩证地看待农民,将农民视为革命和建设的基本动力。认为农民不仅是革命时期的主力军,还是社会主义建设时期的基本动力。毛泽东的农民动力论思想在今天仍然有着鲜活的现实意义。

Were peasants the impetus or the obstruction of the revolution of the proletariat and socialist construction? Writers of Marxist classics had ever made their classical conclusions, in which peasants were considered to be persons of class dual character or persons of innate defects. The negative aspects such as reaction and backward were greatly exaggerated. In the process of utilizing Marxist theory in China, Mao Zedong accommodated them to times and situation, opened up new path, made innovations and looked at peasant dialectically . On that ground, he took peasants as the basic strength of revolution and construction. He thought peasants were not only the main force of revolution but also the basic strength of socialist construction. Today, power of peasants' theory of Mao Zedong thought still has vigorous practical significance.
