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.

The Gist of the Marxist view on Human Rights

Marx and engels’ great ideology contains rich thought on human rights. Based on the class structure and social development in their lifetimes, the two founders of Marxism profoundly revealed the essence of human rights. They revealed the historical process, class essence and hypocrisy of the bourgeois human rights, and expounded the important principle that human rights are always subject to economic and social development. The Marxist of human rights theory emphasizes that even in a capitalist society, the proletariat should not abandon its efforts to strive for human rights, and that the proletariat should use human rights well to improve their survival and development conditions as well as the advancement of the society as a whole. In the localization process of Marxism in China, the Marxist view on human rights has been further developed and innovated in China, and the socialist human rights theory with Chinese characteristics has been formed, which is used to guide the development of China’s human rights cause.

中国式现代化与人类文明新形态的时代内涵

理解人类文明新形态的主要内涵、形成逻辑与重要意义,需要将其放在中国特色社会主义与社会主义初级阶段的特定语境之中,也即人类文明新形态有着特定的时代内涵。人类文明新形态源于中国式现代化的实践成就与理论升华,其产生的标志是统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局的提出,相应地“五个文明”的协调发展成为其核心以及主要表现形式。而新发展理念则从方法论与世界观的维度开创人类文明新形态并指引着其发展。在人类文明新形态的形成过程中,马克思主义中国化时代化的“两个结合”不仅构成其根脉和魂脉,而且为其发展成熟提供精神指引。在社会主义初级阶段乃至更高阶段,人类文明新形态以实现全体人民物质生活和精神生活的共同富裕以及人的全面自由发展为目标,而全体人民共同富裕彰显其先进特质并推动其发展。人类文明新形态的内涵也就借助中国式现代化、“五个文明”、新发展理念、“两个结合”与共同富裕等具有中国特色的话语表达出来,显示出其与传统社会主义文明和西方资本主义文明相比较的创新性、发展性、世界性及其使命追求。由于人类文明新形态产生于中国特色社会主义初级阶段,其发展与成熟既与中国式现代化的发展成熟同步,也是一个与之相比更长的发展过程,但在世界百年未有之大变局的时代背景下也给人类现代化与人类文明发展提供了方案与方向。
