A Non Mechanical Interpretation of the Basic Laws of the Historical Evolution Of the Social System in Historical Materialism
Marx and Engels believed that,in the historical process,"productive forces(production factors → production capaci-ty)→ technological modes of production(process methods → production organization)→ social modes of production(economic oper-ation mode-property rights system)→ production relations(formal production relations → substantive production relations)→ super-structure"is a progressive relationship with multiple links,and there are opposing forces in each link.Due to the influence of many non-productive factors,especially the differences in efficiency understanding,conflicts in interest games,and opposition in value e-valuation,each links of the above chain are not mechanically determined but there are some non-synchronous and non-corresponding relationships.In the long term,the social economic formation has the overall evolution trend of adapting to the productive forces and technological production modes,the superstructure has the overall evolution trend of adapting to the productive forces and social modes of production.However,there is not a universal inevitability that productive forces directly determine production modes,economic sys-tems and production relations,the superstructure is often inconsistent with social production modes and economic foundations.Dialecti-cal rather than mechanical historical materialism helps to scientifically understand the present situation and future of the world and Chi-na's economic system.
