Marxism observes that socialism is a sublation of capitalism. Rather than falling from the sky, the former emerged from the old system, and was sure to dialectically inherit some useful elements from the latter. In particular, the innovative practice of the socialist market economy needs to scientifically abandon the analytical categories and economic forms commonly adopted by market economy which includes the new connotation to capital, surplus value, capital personalization, and the reality-based transformation and utilization of some forms of capital market economy to serve the new economic prosperity. It is a great advantage and an important law of socialism to be good at scientifically inheriting the heritage of human civilization and innovating in new practice. We should strictly distinguish sublating the form of capitalism from taking the path of capitalism.
