Capitalism After the Fall of Communism

This article compares the economics and ethics of Anglo-American individualistic market capitalism with its rivals – notably the 'social market' model and communitarian capitalism. It argues that 'business ethics' is a threat to economic efficiency and does not guarantee higher moral standards in commerce.     

Ideology after the Collapse of Communism

The collapse ofcommunism has not. as might be expected, led to the end of ideologies. Instead of the grand rcvolutionary projects of the past, however, we now have a set of overlapping fragments of revelation which cooperatc with each other in social transformation. These fragments exhibit an 'identity monism' which can tell us something about the character of ideology in general. This form of monism is the necessary condition of turning a modern state into a managed enterprise for the satisfaction of human needs-a project which happens also to be adumbrated in much normative political philosophy. A managed civil state responds to opinion rather than interest. and the opinions on which the project rests commend themselves by some version of self-evidence.

马克思是如何阐述共产主义前提条件的?

共产主义的前提条件是什么?如何才能实现共产主义?这既是国际共产主义运动中难以回避的课题,同时也是社会主义实践或共产党领导执政中必须始终头脑清醒、心中有数的大问题。然而事实上,由于在这方面长期存在模糊认识,导致无论在运动还是实践中极“左”现象时有发生,甚至如同挥之不去的噩梦。文章根据“老祖宗”的有关论述,强调共产主义作为一种客观历史进程,必然要以现代生产力的普遍发展和以人类相互依赖为基础的世界性普遍交往为前提。由“两个普遍”所决定,实现共产主义本质上具有“自然历史”的属性与特征。     

苏联共产党认识共产主义的教训

在如何认识共产主义问题上，苏联共产党在国际共产主义运动中留下了两个方面的教训：一是脱离实际、教条主义地看待共产主义，主观地对遥远的未来作具体的设想和细致的描绘，从而陷入空想；二是放弃共产主义理想，从而改变了前进的方向。     

人类社会的可持续发展之路是实现共产主义——有感于门格尔“财货”思想

实现可持续发展,是人类发展所追求的最终目标。如何才能走上这样的道路?对这一问题,哲学、社会学、经济学等领域都提出了相关看法,如保护动物、绿化环境,提倡节俭消费等。但是实现可持续发展的根本问题是体制问题,认为只有在共产主义体制下才能够实现真正的可持续发展之路。
