本文认为,一个社会形态的最后阶段是它向新社会过渡的阶段,即处在垂死状态了,可是又具有巨大的生命力,将把它所能容纳的全部生产力发挥出来。辩证的历史过程要求我们应该辩证地去看待当代垄断的资本主义。从这个观点出发,本文阐述了马克思的社会形态交替的学说,认为从资本主义到社会主义的过渡开始于垄断资本主义的出现。 This paper argues that the final stage of a social form is its stage of transition to a new society, that is, it is in a dying condition, yet it has great vitality and will exert all its productive capacity. The dialectical historical process requires that we should take a dialectical view of contemporary monopoly capitalism. From this point of view, this article elaborates Marx’s theory of alternating social forms and holds that the transition from capitalism to socialism begins with the emergence of monopoly capitalism.
