Are there any Marxist so-called classes now? ——What is "class"? What is "class"?

When people are asked "Is there a class" -

Mainlanders will say: "After the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed so fast, and its GDP is the second largest in the world. During the reform and opening up, I have also made class leaps and bounds. Many of my friends have also made money, and my descendants can also find jobs. Although there are some small social conflicts. , but it’s not a big deal, it can be resolved, how can there be any class conflicts? The contradictions are made by the United States!”

Or "After the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed so fast, and my living standard has also improved. Although I have not transcended classes, my descendants have not made great achievements, and there are some problems in finding a job. The three mountains are so tall, and there are some small conflicts in society, but I I believe that this can be changed, as long as I work hard, there are no class conflicts, but the United States is playing tricks."

Taiwanese and Xiangyou people will say: "It's all threatened by the mainland. The problem lies in the mainland. It's not because of any class contradictions."

The above are the mainstream views.

In any era, the dominant consciousness is always the consciousness of the rulers of the society (always beneficial to the ruling class, for example, the official preference in mainland China for the "non-democratic voting system" and the "democratic voting system" in Western society, which means This article will not explain the logic behind this), the ruled are all influenced by the consciousness of the "ruler". This is a general law, and it doesn't matter if you disagree, but this article does not intend to explain this law.

So, what is class and class?

Lenin's definition of class:

"The so-called classes are such large groups that have different positions in a certain social production system in history, and have different ownership relations to the means of production (most of these relations are expressly stipulated in laws). , play different roles in the social labor organization, so the way and amount of social wealth at their disposal are also different. The so-called class is such a group, because of their position in a certain social economic structure different positions, one group can appropriate the labor of the other."

The criteria for class division in the "Research Report on All Strata of Contemporary Chinese Society (hereinafter referred to as the "Report")" are as follows:

"Based on occupational classification, the possession of organizational resources, economic resources, and cultural resources is used as the standard for class division"

The "Report" divides China into ten classes, namely, the class of state and social managers, the class of managers, the class of private business owners, the class of professional The working class, the agricultural labor class and the urban and rural unemployed and semi-unemployed class.

If you are a programmer with a monthly salary of 15kRMB (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou), he belongs to the proletariat (proletarian in the means of production, bourgeois in spirit), and he belongs to the fourth class - the professional and technical personnel class (with cultural resources).

If he is a grassroots civil servant with a monthly salary of 4kRMB (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou), he belongs to the proletariat (has no property in the means of production, and has bureaucratic fantasies of prosperity), and he belongs to the fifth class - the clerk class (a small amount of cultural resources and organizational resources).

Everyone recognizes the existence of classes, so is there a class ?

If you think not, that's fine, class conflicts are hidden, and the ruling class can rule as usual again. Contradictions can again be created by the United States (or the mainland).

Obviously, capitalists have mastered the means of production (raw materials, factory buildings and machines), and the combination of means of production and labor force (workers) produces surplus value, which is occupied by capitalists without compensation.

Why free possession? First of all, the law clearly stipulates that "private rights are sacred and inviolable." Third, capitalists have the police and army as material guarantees, and the official media and self-media support them in ideological control.

Whether you recognize class or not, it is always there. (When it will disappear depends on the social productive forces and the consciousness and organizational capabilities of the proletariat, that is, whether the current productive forces can support the society/communist society and how class contradictions are well exposed to the proletariat and how to lead the proletariat )

So after I admit class, is there any point?

The way out for the proletariat of the whole world (including Hong Kong and the mainland) is here!

The way out for the proletariat of the whole world (including Hong Kong and the mainland) is here!

The way out for the proletariat of the whole world (including Hong Kong and the mainland) is here!

Our conflicts are not Hong Kong/mainland, mainland/US, democracy/non-democracy (I never said that democracy is a bad thing, democracy is always a good thing for the masses, the problem is how to ensure the smooth operation of democracy, not simply designing a scientific democracy system or go to the streets to strike and strike), but the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat!

Why free possession? First of all, the law clearly stipulates that "private rights are sacred and inviolable". Third, capitalists have the police and army as material guarantees, and the official media and self-media support them in ideological control.

First of all, we must break the private ownership of the means of production (not the private ownership of the means of living, your car is still yours, your ticket is still yours), and the old state violence machine must be destroyed (revolution is needed, the revolution needs the support of the masses, and the participation of the masses is required ), the new regime is not allowed to use (or transform) the old state apparatus, and must build an advanced and brand-new state apparatus to carry out proletarian dictatorship on the ideological and international violent machine. (Repeat, don’t use communism to destroy personal will to refute me. The consumption concept and values given to you by the bourgeoisie are your personal will? Are you the free individual who transcends social relations? As for the warriors becoming Evil dragon, this is a problem faced by all mankind, if he has not been solved, it does not mean that he cannot be solved.)

The masses in Hong Kong (especially the proletariat, the petty bourgeoisie is more complicated, ignored here) have no class consciousness, and naturally they don’t know that their enemy is Li Ka-shing. , including the so-called "civil war" during the past six months.
