一个国家是否保持稳定,完全取决于这一社会是否能把发展生产力带来的利益惠及广大人民群众,是否能走共同富裕的道路。社会主义的价值目标就是消除两极分化,共同富裕,维护社会公正,而这正是社会平安稳定的根本保证。在尚处于社会主义初级阶段的中国实现社会主义的本质特征,自有其特殊的要求。其一是“适度”,即劳动者之间、各利益群体之间存在的收入差距必须“适度”;发展非公有制经济必须“适度”。其二是“导向”,即把适度的收入差距“导向”消灭这种收入差距这一总目标。完全可以说,当前中国特色的社会主义正是一个以消除两极分化,消灭剥削,共同富裕,维护社会公正为价值目标的社会,正是一个大步朝着这一价值目标迈进的社会,这是中国保持稳定、和平发展的根本保证。 Whether or not a country remains stable depends entirely on whether this society can benefit the broad masses of the people by exploiting the benefits brought by the development of productive forces and whether it can take the path of common prosperity. The goal of socialism’s value is to eliminate polarization, common prosperity and safeguard social justice, and this is precisely the fundamental guarantee for social peace and stability. In the initial stage of socialism in China to achieve the essential characteristics of socialism, its own special requirements. One is “moderation”, that is, the income gap between workers and interest groups must be “moderate”; and the development of the non-public economy must be “modest.” The second is “orientation,” which is the general goal of “guiding” moderate income inequalities to eliminate this income gap. It is quite fair to say that at present socialism with Chinese characteristics is precisely a society in which the goal of eliminating polarization, eliminating exploitation, common prosperity and safeguarding social justice is a stride toward this value goal China maintains the fundamental guarantee of stability and peaceful development.
