邓小平同志在1984年6月会见中日民间代表团时的讲话明确指出:“社会主义阶段的最根本任务就是发展生产力”(《邓小平文选》第三卷第63页),此外,他还曾多次把发展生产力作为社会的“首要任务”,“中心任务”,把解放和发展生产力作为社会主义最重要的本质特征。本文就如何理解邓小平同志把解放和发展生产力作为社会主义的根本任务的科学论断谈点自己的学习体会。 In his speech on his meeting with the Chinese-Japanese non-governmental delegation in June 1984, Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly pointed out: “The most fundamental task in the socialist stage is to develop productive forces” (“Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping,” Vol.3, p.63). In addition, Secondly, take productivity development as the “primary mission” and “central task” of the community and regard emancipation and development of productive forces as the most important essential characteristics of socialism. This article is about how to understand Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s emancipation and development of productive forces as the fundamental task of social science to talk about their own scientific experience.
