An Outline of Marxist Classical Authors'on the Modernization of Industrial Civilization and Traditional Rural Social Power
Marx,Engels and Lenin lived at a time when the Industrial Revolution was driving an epochal change in the mode of production in Western Europe and Russia,shifting from a small peasant society to an industrial society.They were keenly aware of the disintegration of the traditional rural social power system and the shaping of new social relations by industrialization.The survival of the smallholder mode of production bound the peasants,who were the main demographic group of society,to the land,thus constructing a daily life characterized by a generalized relationship of personal dependence,which constituted the endogenous cornerstone of the power of the traditional rural society.Only in the age of industrialization,with the expansion of trade and the emergence of a large number of free and equal employment opportunities outside agriculture,could the peasants really go out of the countryside,break free from the land,and realize their relative personal economic independence,so that their personal dependence was gradually lifted.What's more,the socialization of labor laid a solid foundation for the emancipation of women and their emergence as the real"half the sky".The relevant discussions of the classic writers help us to clearly understand the evolution of social power in the countryside during the transition period,to explore the rational and irrational aspects and root causes,and to promote the modernization of rural governance.
