以生产力发展作为衡量一种社会形态进步的尺度,这是历史唯物主义的根本观点。这个观点是党在社会主义初级阶段基本路线的重要理论依据。党的十三大提出了生产力标准的概念,指出应当把是否有利于发展生产力,作为我们考虑一切问题的出发点和检验一切工作的标准,无疑具有世界观和方法论的指导意义。 Taking the development of productive forces as a yardstick for measuring the progress of a social form is the fundamental point of historical materialism. This view is an important theoretical basis for the party's basic line in the primary stage of socialism. The Thirteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the concept of productive forces and pointed out that it is undoubtedly the guiding principle of world outlook and methodology that we should consider whether it is conducive to the development of productive forces as the starting point for us to consider all issues and the standard for testing all our work.
