ABSTRACT

The three parts of the constant nature of bourgeois democratic revolution to socialist revolution, the constant nature of socialist revolution and the constant nature of international revolution constitute the basic content of Trotsky's theory of constant revolution. On the basis of combining the views of Trotsky's writings, this paper criticizes and abandons the viewpoints of the theory of continuous revolution, draws out the characteristics of the revolution under the world capitalist system, such as the late, isolated, and zigzagging nature, and tries to give a shallow idea for the problem of the direction and method of the proletariat of the backward countries in seizing the power and constructing the socialism. The article first defines the relevant concepts, then discusses the basic content of Trotsky's theory of continuous revolution, points out that the flaw of Trotsky's theory of continuous revolution lies in its partial controllability, and finally points out that continuous revolution should be self-reliant, gradually developing from underdeveloped capitalism to socialism.
