- Abstract:
- To examine the “big historical view” on the theme in the Communist Party of China’s(CPC)century-long struggle and the “two creations” it has achieved, it is necessary to use the historical materialism as the theoretical basis to understand the disputes between the paradigm of a history of revolution and the paradigm of a history of modernization: the former captures the essence of the successive changes of major events in China’s modern history, and the latter expands the horizon for understanding China’s modern history. The theoretical basis of the dialectical unity of the two is the “hard core” of historical materialism, namely the theory of basic social contradictions, and class struggle is the manifestation of basic social contradictions in different historical stages. Revolutions determined by the basic social contradictions can be divided into narrow and broad senses. It negates or deviates from the historical materialism to use the paradigm of the history of modernization to deny political revolution in a narrow sense or even social revolution in a broad sense; to attribute social revolution to a stereotyped class struggle; or even to reverse the established verdict on the “Cultural Revolution”. The practical basis for the dialectical unity of the two paradigms is the CPC’s century-long history of struggle, whose theme is the national rejuvenation(modernization)and whose main line is to lead China’s social revolution and its self-revolution. In the process of national rejuvenation, historical materialism is reflected in the dialectal interaction between modernization and socialism: one is both the end and the means for the other.
