A proposition put forward in the 1980s: "Poverty is not socialism". Its original intention is to tell us to work hard to develop the economy. Only by working hard to develop the economy can we completely get rid of poverty and let the people live a happy life. This is the foothold and starting point of building socialism. But this sentence was used by some people with ulterior motives and became their "magic weapon" to discredit the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
They deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence. The "poverty" in the country's development in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China became the reason for some people to deny the history of socialist construction in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In some people's minds, "poverty is not socialism" because socialism in new China is socialist public ownership. They believe that the cause of poverty lies in the implementation of public ownership, which they believe creates poverty.
The road to prosperity
Therefore, people often deny this period of history in the name of "reflection" and become a gimmick, which is a misunderstanding that ignores the historical background at that time. In fact, China's socialism is based on extreme poverty. Under the leadership of Chairman Mao and the * * * Production Party of China, the people of China changed their poverty by relying on their own independence and self-reliance, and began to gradually move towards the road of * * * prosperity.
In order to restore history, we must have a comprehensive understanding of this period of history and clarify some misunderstandings, so as not to let this fallacy spread and delay future generations. It is on the basis of extreme poverty that New China has tightened its belt to build socialism and completed the country's industrialization and agricultural infrastructure. Only in this way can the new China get rid of poverty and gradually become rich.
