20世纪初中国社会革命之争述评

在中国民主革命之初起之际，西方社会主义学说传入中国，社会主义被视为人类社会的理想境界，孙中山等人主张在中国民主革命的期即同时实行社会主义革命，土地国有，节制资本，以免将来社会革命之发生，而梁启超等人认为，社会主义是中国将来的事，当时的首要任务是反对封建专制和充分发展资本主义，以抵御国际资本的大量侵入，两派各执一见，展开激烈论战，传统观念认为，孙中山一派的观点是可取的，进而斥责梁启超反原社会主义。史实距今100年了，冷静反思，应该有一个新的看法。

Debates on Social Revolutions for China in the Early 20th Century

At the very beginning of China's democratic revolution, theories of western socialism were introduced into China and socialism was esteemed as the ideal state of human society. Sun Zhong-san and some others advocated the implementation of socialist revolution, the nationalization of land and control of capital in case of the prospective social revolution. Liang Qi-chao and some personages opined that socialism being for the future China, the then main task was to oppose feudal monarchy and develop capitalism so as to resist the large-scale aggression of international capital. Entirely different in their respective opinions, proponents of the two views debated heatedly with each other. The conventionalists appreciated the view advanced by Sun Zhong-san while repudiating Liang Qi-chao as anti-socialism. A century has elapsed since then. and by taking an objective reconsideration of the issue, one is likely to come up with a fresh view of it.
