党的十一届三中全会以来,我们党对社会主义的认识步步深入。在拨乱反正中我们党提出,贫穷不是社会主义。社会主义必须消灭贫穷。要消灭贫穷就要以经济建设为中心,就要把发展生产力作为社会主义的根本任务。这是我们党对社会主义再认识的伟大成果。党的十四大指出,必须把发展生产力摆在首要位置,以经济建设为中心,推动社会全面进步。再次重申了社会主义的根本任务是发展生产力的问题。 Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, our party has deepened our understanding of socialism. In disarming anyway, our party put forward that poverty is not socialism. Socialism must eliminate poverty. To eradicate poverty we must take economic construction as the center, and we must take the development of productive forces as the fundamental task of socialism. This is a great achievement made by our party in re-understanding of socialism. The 14th CPC National Congress pointed out that we must give top priority to the development of productive forces and take economic construction as the center to promote all-round social progress. Once again reaffirmed the fundamental task of socialism is the issue of the development of productive forces.
