以下摘自海天一线“教学纪录片《社会主义兴衰史》学习笔记”： 该附录【恩格斯：《 <英国工人阶级状况>美国版附录》】是恩格斯自己用英文写的，因此英文版是作者原文。我先引有关英文原文，再解释。 '..great stress is laid on the dictum that Communism is not a mere party doctrine of the working class, but a theory compassing the emancipation of society at large, including the Capitalist class, from its present narrow conditions. This is true enough in the abstract, but absolutely useless, and worse, in practice. So long as the wealthy classes not only do not feel the want of any emancipation, but strenuously oppose the self-emancipation of the working class, so long the social revolution will have to be prepared and fought out by the working class alone.' 意思是：（年轻时写的这本书）强调了一个基本观点：共产主义不仅是工人阶级的党派学说，而且是涵盖把整个社会包括资本家阶级从目前狭隘的状况中解放出来的学说。这种观点抽象地说完全是真理；然而，只要富人阶级不仅不感到需要任何解放，而且起劲地反对工人阶级的自我解放，只要社会革命不得不由工人阶级单独准备和进行，那么，这种观点在实践上是绝对无用的，比无用还糟。 恩格斯在这里说的很清楚，在实践上绝对无用比无用还糟的观点是就是把共产主义看成是解放全社会的观点。恩格斯在那段话后面紧接着写的几句话，把这个意思阐述的更为清晰： 'The French bourgeois of 1789, too, declared the emancipation of the bourgeoisie to be the emancipation of the whole human race; but the nobility and clergy would not see it; the proposition -- though for the time being, with respect to feudalism, an abstract historical truth -- soon became a mere sentimentalism, and disappeared from view altogether in the fire of the revolutionary struggle. And to-day, the very people who, from the impartiality of their 'superior stand-point' preach to the workers a Socialism soaring high above their class interests and class struggles, and tending to reconcile in a higher humanity the interests of both the contending classes -- these people are either neophytes, who have still to learn a great deal, or they are the worst enemies of the workers -- wolves in sheeps' clothing.' 意思是： 1789 年的法国资产阶级革命也曾宣布资产阶级的解放就是全人类的解放。然而，贵族和教会看不到这一点 （尽管当时这对封建主义来说是一种历史的抽象），这种说法很快就成为一种煽情而已，在革命斗争的烈火中完全消失了。如今，如果有人从不偏不倚的高姿态向工人宣传一种超越工人的阶级利益和阶级斗争的社会主义，宣传一种要从更高的人性上调和两个对抗阶级的利益的社会主义，那么，这种人或者是还需要好好学习的幼稚者，或者是工人的最恶劣的敌人--披着羊皮的狼。 很清楚：恩格斯到了晚年，认为共产主义是解放全人类的口号过于抽象，在实践中有害。宣传这一点不是幼稚就是别有用心。工人阶级只能抛开资产阶级，以消灭资产阶级的方式来实现社会主义。 ......
