毛泽东根据唯物史观的基本原理,提出了我党在新民主主义革命实践中制订路线、方针和政策始终遵循的生产力标准和人民利益标准。在社会主义改革实践中,邓小平坚持生产力标准和人民利益标准相统一的原则,回答了“什么是社会主义,怎样建设社会主义”的问题。在此基础上,江泽民提出了“三个代表”重要思想。 Mao Zedong put forward the standards of productivity and interests of the people that our party always followed in its formulation of lines, guidelines and policies based on the basic principles of historical materialism. In the practice of socialist reforms, Deng Xiaoping upheld the principle of unification of the standards of productive forces and the interests of the people and answered the question of “what is socialism and how to build socialism?”. On this basis, Jiang Zemin put forward the important thinking of “three represents.”
