Abstract

Marx and Engals believed that the development of social economic pattern is a natural process of history.New relations of production do not come from the air but from within the relations of traditional ownership,including communist production relations.Violence can only serve as a midwife to a new society but never gives birth to it.Stalin,however,believed that socialist production relations do not come from within capitalism and that proletarian political power can only be created outside of capitalism.Russian October Revolution established a proletarian political power,but after decades of construction,the first period of communist society as Marx and Engals had imagined has not been realized.The history of the 20th-century world communist movement has proved that Marx and Engals's theory of production relations is correct while Stalin's theoretical breakthrough to the former has not yet been justified.
