On the Conditions of Eliminating Private Ownership--Starting With Communist Manifesto

Abstract

2020 marks the 200th anniversary of Engels's birth. It has been more than 170 years since He and Marx issued Communist Manifesto, and more than 40 years since China's reform and opening up. The abolition of private ownership" in the Communist Manifesto is to eliminate capitalist ownership and its concept. It is the unity of purpose and regularity. The elimination of private ownership does not depend on people's subjective will, but on conditions. China does not have the conditions to eliminate private ownership in the primary stage of socialism. We must adhere to the "two unswervingly". The Communist Manifesto "eradicating private ownership" and the development of the non-public economy at the present stage are not contradictory, all of which are the need for production relations to adapt to the development of productive forces.
