As an important debate between Marxists and anarchists before the founding of the Communist Party of China,the academic dialogue between Chen Duxiu and Ou Shengbai in the form of letters can be regarded as a catalyst for the transformation of the dominant position of discourse,and effectively promoted the early popularization of Marxism.In his letter,Ou Shengbai responded to Chen Duxiu's criticism of anarchism and quoted the works of Kropotkin,Bakunin,and others for theoretical explanation.Chen Duxiu directed the theoretical issues to the track of Marxist revolution,aiming to expose and criticize the impracticality of anarchism,and call on and guide the proletariat to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie.As the contents of the letter were published in Guangdong Daily,New Youth,and People's Voice,this academic dialogue concerning the dominance of discourse caused a shock in social thought and led to the reorganization of the early organization of the Guangzhou Communist Party.Examining the three letters exchanged between Chen and Ou from the perspective of academic interpretation and discourse analysis can help to gain a glimpse of the historical scene of fierce confrontation of social thoughts in the early 20th century,and reveal the historical pattern of the transformation of the dominant position of discourse before the founding of the Communist Party of China.This research will provide an important supplement and annotation for the early popularization process of Marxism.
