Abstract:
Marxist proposition that “the increase of productivity means nothing but using less direct labour to create more products” reveals that productive relations which are determined by productivity possess the nature of satisfying the efficiency orientation demanded by productivity. The productive relations as relations between people in production are restricted by the subject's pursuit of ideological objectives, such as human rights, justice and dignity, hence its internal nature of ideological orientation. This determines that it is necessary to regard the efficiency demand as the basis of transformation of productive relations, but partial and parochial. The complete basis for transformation of productive relations is the integrity of efficiency demand of production with subjective ideological demand of productive relations. Therefore, transformation of realistic productive relations must get out of the rut of taking the efficiency demand of production as its complete basis by completely ignoring the ideological basis for transformation of productive relations.
