Land reform is a key issue in determining the success or failure of socialist revolution and construction. In The Peasant Question in France and Germany, Engels elucidated specific approaches to rural land reform in countries where small - scale farmers are the majority. First, adhere to the principle of public landownership as a baseline to ensure the fair distribution and utilization of land; second, implement cooperative agricultural management as a primary strategy to increase productivity; third, put into practice methods that respect the wishes of farmers to ensure their participation and legal rights. Engels’ thoughts on rural land reform have significant guiding significance for developing the proletarian political party,winning the proletarian revolution, and advancing socialist construction, For contemporary China, adhering to and developing Engels’ ideas on rural land reform specifically means maintaining collective ownership of rural land, solidly advancing innovative content in agricultural cooperative management,formulating forward - looking and sustainable rural development strategies,and staying patience in continually promoting the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas, thus laying a solid foundation for the successful advancement of Chinese - style modernization.
