“共产主义小组”是多年来对中共上海发起组的习惯称谓。进入新世纪以来,传统习惯称谓遭到质疑,“党的早期组织说”开始出现在各种教材之中。通过对相关史实的梳理、研究、分析,可以得出:中共上海发起组并非共产主义小组而是“马克思主义政党”的结论。 The “communist group” is the customary title for the group initiated by CPC Shanghai over the years. Since the beginning of the new century, traditional custom titles have been questioned. “The early partisan organizations said that” they began to appear in various textbooks. Through the combing, researching and analyzing of relevant historical facts, it can be concluded that the Communist Party of China Shanghai initiated the conclusion that the group is not a communist group but a “Marxist political party.”
