There has been a heated debate in the history of international capitalist movement about whether countries with relatively backward economy and culture can implement socialist revolution and establish socialist system before developed countries. The second international opportunist once denied that countries with relatively backward economy and culture could enter socialism under the economic premise that socialism had not yet been implemented. Lenin criticized this view as "vulgar productivity theory" and thought that the general law of world historical development not only did not exclude the particularity of individual development stages in the form or order of development, but took it as a premise. He pointed out: "Since the establishment of socialism requires a certain level of education (although no one can say what this certain level of education is, because it is different in all western European countries), why can't we first obtain the premise of reaching this level by revolutionary means, and then catch up with the people of other countries on the basis of the worker-peasant regime and the Soviet system? Lenin also predicted that the future revolution will undoubtedly be better than the Russian revolution in countries with extremely large population and extremely complicated social conditions in the East. The establishment of the socialist system in China proved Lenin's foresight. On this issue, Mao Zedong used the historical development of Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Japan and other countries to explain: "The revolution of production relations is the result of a certain development of productive forces. However, the great development of productive forces is always after the change of relations of production, so Deng Xiaoping pointed out in combination with the situation in China: "We also oppose the vulgar theory of productive forces", "At that time, China had advanced proletarian political parties, a preliminary capitalist economy and international conditions, so it was possible to engage in socialism in a very underdeveloped China. This is the same as Lenin's theory of opposing vulgar productive forces.
The establishment of the socialist system has created institutional conditions for China's modernization. The establishment of the socialist system has greatly improved the enthusiasm and creativity of the working class and the broad masses of working people. The socialist economic system, with its advantages consistent with socialized mass production, can concentrate on doing great things as much as possible under the condition of economic backwardness, opening up a broad road for the development of social productive forces. With the establishment of the socialist system and the development of socialist construction, China has initially established a relatively independent and complete industrial system and national economic system, agricultural production conditions have changed significantly, production level has been greatly improved, urban and rural commerce and foreign trade have increased greatly, education, science, culture, health and sports have developed greatly, and the output of major industrial and agricultural products in China has been greatly improved in the world. The brilliant achievements of China's modernization cannot be separated from the basic premise of choosing and embarking on the socialist road.
The establishment of the socialist system has enabled the broad masses of working people to truly become the masters of the state and social means of production. This is the most fundamental change in class relations in China for thousands of years. The establishment of the socialist economic system has greatly consolidated and expanded the class foundation and economic foundation of the people's democratic dictatorship regime led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants.
The establishment of China's socialist system has enabled the great eastern country, which accounts for a quarter of the world's population, to enter the socialist society, which is another historic great victory in the history of the world socialist movement. It has further changed the world political and economic structure, strengthened the power of socialism and had a positive impact on maintaining world peace. Under the leadership of the * * * Production Party, the people of China have embarked on the socialist road through their own hard work, which has provided important experience for other relatively backward countries to explore national independence, people's liberation and take the road of development in line with their national conditions, and is also a great encouragement to the people of these countries.
In a big eastern country with relatively backward economy and culture, the successful transition from new democracy to socialism and the establishment of the basic socialist system are the results of the correct application and creative development of Marxist-Leninist socialist revolutionary theory in China. The establishment of the socialist system in China not only proves the truth of Marxism again, but also enriches and develops Marxist scientific socialism theory with its unique theoretical principles and practical experience. As Deng Xiaoping said, "Our socialist transformation has achieved great success. This is Mao Zedong's great contribution to Marxism-Leninism.
The great significance of establishing the basic socialist system The establishment of the socialist system is the result of the correct application and creative development of Marxist-Leninist socialist revolutionary theory in China, which enriches and develops the scientific socialist theory with its unique theoretical principles and experience summary; The establishment of the socialist system has achieved the deepest and greatest social changes in China for thousands of years, and laid a solid foundation for all the progress and development of China society since then. The establishment of the socialist system is the deepest and greatest social change in the history of China, and it is also another epoch-making historical change in China in the 20th century. From a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, China has crossed the long historical stage of capitalist development and entered a new era of socialism, laying a solid foundation for the development and progress of China society. First, the establishment of the socialist system has created institutional conditions for China's modernization. The socialist economic system has opened up a broad road for the development of social productive forces because of its consistency with socialized mass production and the advantage of being able to concentrate on doing great things as much as possible under the condition of economic backwardness. Today's brilliant achievements in China's modernization cannot be separated from the most basic premise of choosing and embarking on the socialist road. Second, the establishment of the socialist system has made the broad masses of working people truly masters of the state and social means of production, which is the most fundamental change in class relations in China for thousands of years. This has greatly improved the enthusiasm and creativity of the working class and the broad masses of working people, and consolidated and expanded the class foundation and economic foundation of the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. Third, the establishment of China's socialist system has further changed the world political and economic structure, strengthened the power of socialism and had a positive impact on maintaining world peace. The entry of a big eastern country, which accounts for a quarter of the world's population, into the socialist society is another historic great victory in the history of the world socialist movement. It has provided important experience for other relatively backward countries to explore national independence and people's liberation and take a development path suitable for their own national conditions, and it is also a great encouragement to the people of these countries. Fourthly, the establishment of the socialist system in China not only proved the truth of Marxism once again, but also enriched and developed Marxist scientific socialism theory with its unique theoretical principles and experience summary. Fifth, the establishment of the socialist system has started the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on the road of socialist construction.
