The Modern Value of Marxism in Terms of Historical and Theoretical Positioning

If we want to demonstrate the necessity of sticking to the guiding position of Marxism,we must expound the modern value of Marxism,which needs correcting the long-standing mistaken concept about the historical and theoretical positioning of Marxism. First,in terms of historical positioning,Marxism is not the unique scientific truth which is universally applicable. It inherits and develops human civilization. Second,Marxism is not the universal law which reveals the matter movement in terms of matter and pushes forward the historical development. It develops practical materialism with practice as the logic starting point. Therefore the modern value of Marxism is manifested in the following aspects:the spiritual strength for human liberation,ideological method for realizing the modern world,the theoretical foundation for exploring socialism and the critical weapon for revealing the social contradiction. It dominates the discourse power in the social life.
