The Ideological Purpose of Capital Criticism in"the Communist Manifesto":Two Misunderstandings in the Interpretation of"the Communist Manifesto"
"The Communist Manifesto",as the programmatic document of the world's first proletarian political party,contains rich ideas of capital criticism.There are two misunderstandings about the interpretation of"the Communist Manifesto".One is the"nonexistence"of the surplus value theory in"the Communist Manifesto",and the other is the ideological debate about"abolition of private property".The reason for these two misunder-standings lies in the neglect and misreading of the critical thinking of capital in"the Communist Manifesto".In fact,the theory of surplus value is implicit in the analysis of the connotation of capital,and the idea of"abolition of private property"is implicit in the disclosure of the characteristics of capital."The Communist Manifesto"criti-cized the"confrontation crisis""atomization crisis",and"homogenization crisis"caused by capital by revealing its connotation and characteristics.The key to resolving these three crises lies in achieving"disenchantment",which is a two-way interactive process of"theoretical disenchantment"and"practical disenchantment"trig-gered by the awakening of class consciousness.This"disenchantment"is also the ideological purpose of capital criticism in"the Communist Manifesto".
