以下摘自海天一線(xiàn)“教學(xué)紀錄片《社會(huì )主義興衰史》學(xué)習筆記”:
該附錄【恩格斯:《 <英國工人階級狀況>美國版附錄》】是恩格斯自己用英文寫(xiě)的,因此英文版是作者原文。我先引有關(guān)英文原文,再解釋。
'..great stress is laid on the dictum that Communism is not a mere party doctrine of the working class, but a theory compassing the emancipation of society at large, including the Capitalist class, from its present narrow conditions. This is true enough in the abstract, but absolutely useless, and worse, in practice. So long as the wealthy classes not only do not feel the want of any emancipation, but strenuously oppose the self-emancipation of the working class, so long the social revolution will have to be prepared and fought out by the working class alone.'
意思是:(年輕時(shí)寫(xiě)的這本書(shū))強調了一個(gè)基本觀(guān)點(diǎn):共產(chǎn)主義不僅是工人階級的黨派學(xué)說(shuō),而且是涵蓋把整個(gè)社會(huì )包括資本家階級從目前狹隘的狀況中解放出來(lái)的學(xué)說(shuō)。這種觀(guān)點(diǎn)抽象地說(shuō)完全是真理;然而,只要富人階級不僅不感到需要任何解放,而且起勁地反對工人階級的自我解放,只要社會(huì )革命不得不由工人階級單獨準備和進(jìn)行,那么,這種觀(guān)點(diǎn)在實(shí)踐上是絕對無(wú)用的,比無(wú)用還糟。
恩格斯在這里說(shuō)的很清楚,在實(shí)踐上絕對無(wú)用比無(wú)用還糟的觀(guān)點(diǎn)是就是把共產(chǎn)主義看成是解放全社會(huì )的觀(guān)點(diǎn)。恩格斯在那段話(huà)后面緊接著(zhù)寫(xiě)的幾句話(huà),把這個(gè)意思闡述的更為清晰:
'The French bourgeois of 1789, too, declared the emancipation of the bourgeoisie to be the emancipation of the whole human race; but the nobility and clergy would not see it; the proposition -- though for the time being, with respect to feudalism, an abstract historical truth -- soon became a mere sentimentalism, and disappeared from view altogether in the fire of the revolutionary struggle. And to-day, the very people who, from the impartiality of their 'superior stand-point' preach to the workers a Socialism soaring high above their class interests and class struggles, and tending to reconcile in a higher humanity the interests of both the contending classes -- these people are either neophytes, who have still to learn a great deal, or they are the worst enemies of the workers -- wolves in sheeps' clothing.'
意思是: 1789 年的法國資產(chǎn)階級革命也曾宣布資產(chǎn)階級的解放就是全人類(lèi)的解放。然而,貴族和教會(huì )看不到這一點(diǎn) (盡管當時(shí)這對封建主義來(lái)說(shuō)是一種歷史的抽象),這種說(shuō)法很快就成為一種煽情而已,在革命斗爭的烈火中完全消失了。如今,如果有人從不偏不倚的高姿態(tài)向工人宣傳一種超越工人的階級利益和階級斗爭的社會(huì )主義,宣傳一種要從更高的人性上調和兩個(gè)對抗階級的利益的社會(huì )主義,那么,這種人或者是還需要好好學(xué)習的幼稚者,或者是工人的最?lèi)毫拥臄橙?-披著(zhù)羊皮的狼。
很清楚:恩格斯到了晚年,認為共產(chǎn)主義是解放全人類(lèi)的口號過(guò)于抽象,在實(shí)踐中有害。宣傳這一點(diǎn)不是幼稚就是別有用心。工人階級只能拋開(kāi)資產(chǎn)階級,以消滅資產(chǎn)階級的方式來(lái)實(shí)現社會(huì )主義。
