Theory is too important for a party, a country and a nation. If the theory is correct, the party will be strong, the policies will be correct, the ideas will be unified, the economy will develop and the society will be stable. Otherwise, the Party will be disorganized, policies will be wrong, thoughts will be confused, the economy will stagnate or even retrogress, and society will be turbulent. Without revolutionary theory, there would be no revolutionary movement. On the other hand, wrong theories will inevitably lead to wrong actions. The correct theory is the forerunner of revolution, and the wrong theory is the forerunner of collapse and extinction. Paying attention to the fundamental embodiment of theory lies in being brave and good at combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's reality and the development of the times, and always grasping the correct direction in the case of constantly emerging new situations, new situations and new problems.
Second, we must always adhere to the distinctive proletarian nature of the party and the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, so as to always adhere to and constantly improve the party's leadership. The individual in the crowd is a drop of water, which is easy to dry up, but when a drop of water comes together, it becomes a river and a river that enters the sea. Under certain conditions, the masses may be helpless and appear calm about all kinds of bad styles and wrong tendencies that harm the interests of the masses, but under certain conditions, they may set off a huge wave and turn the tide. Standing on the land of the people forever, you can always become a powerful hero Antai. The question of why people are is a fundamental question and a matter of principle. Only by serving the masses all the time can our party never deteriorate, maintain its advanced nature and be in power for a long time.
Third, we must always trust and rely on the masses, fully carry forward democracy and earnestly strengthen supervision. Democratic centralism is the fundamental organizational principle of the party and the state. 1945 On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the famous conversation between President Mao Zedong and Huang Yanpei in Yan 'an is worth remembering forever. Huang Yanpei said: "A history includes people who failed politically, people who died for political interests, and people who pursued honor and disgrace. In short, no cycle rate can jump out of its prosperity and its death. " Mao Zedong said, "We have found a new path, and we can jump out of this cycle rate. This new road is democracy. Only by letting the people supervise the government will the government dare not relax. Only when everyone is responsible can people not die. "
Mao Zedong's thought that everyone is responsible is the development of Marxist people's democratic political thought. The core and fundamental purpose of socialist democratic politics is that the people are masters of their own affairs, and everyone's responsibility is the fundamental way to achieve this fundamental goal, and there is no other way. In a sense, the socialist cause is only difficult, that is, it is really difficult for everyone to take responsibility. All party member, regardless of their positions, are equal and enjoy the right stipulated by party constitution to directly or indirectly handle all the affairs of the Party through deputies, including deciding the Party's line, principles and policies.
Party and state leaders have repeatedly stressed the importance of promoting democracy and telling the truth, the truth and the truth. This is to ensure that party member can fully express different opinions in accordance with normal organizational procedures. Any discussion within the party should be equal and free.
As long as it is based on the interests and work of the party, we should allow full expression of opinions, do everything we know and say, and truly form a good political atmosphere within the party that dares to tell the truth and speak freely. Only in this way can we truly achieve inner-party unity and be conducive to a high degree of unity of action. The practice of suppressing different opinions and holding a unified view is incompatible with the fine tradition and style of our party.
Fourth, we must always adhere to reform and opening up and the socialist direction of reform and opening up. The two should not be neglected, let alone separated or opposed, and should always be unified into the center of economic construction. Only in this way can we continuously liberate and develop productive forces and realize the goal of strengthening the country and enriching the people. Marxism reveals the essence and laws of the development of human society, and we must adhere to and follow the basic principles of the development of human history, and the practical application of these principles should be based on the historical conditions at that time at any time and anywhere. We must constantly emancipate our minds, reform in time, take new measures and constantly adapt to the changing new situation.
All countries and nationalities in the world have their own excellent cultural traditions, advanced science and technology and various unique resources, which need us to learn from and introduce with a broad mind and style. At the same time, the excellent cultural traditions of our Chinese nation also need to be introduced to the world. We can use our various resources to exchange needed goods and cooperate with other countries and nations for mutual benefit. This requires us to adhere to the open policy for a long time. Especially in today's deepening economic globalization, it is impossible for any country to engage in construction behind closed doors. Therefore, persisting in reform and opening up should be our long-term strategy of strengthening the country.
However, we must also see that there is indeed a fundamental premise for reform and opening up, and that is the question of direction and road. Our reform and opening up must be conducive to the continuous consolidation and self-improvement of the socialist system, to socialist modernization and to improving the material and cultural living standards of the overwhelming majority of the people. Therefore, in the process of reform and opening up, we must adhere to the correct direction of reform and opening up, adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles, adhere to independence, highly cherish and unswervingly safeguard the long-term struggle of the people of China for national independence. Otherwise, it will be like what Deng Xiaoping said, and then we will really go astray.
Fifth, we must always adhere to the dictatorship of the proletariat, that is, the people's democratic dictatorship, and be highly vigilant against the conspiracy of hostile forces to westernize and divide. We should be soberly aware that the situation that the West is strong and we are weak may exist for a long time. Socialism and capitalism will coexist for a long time, with cooperation, competition and fierce competition. The fundamental strategic objectives of the two systems cannot be achieved. Therefore, while we are highly alert to the use of hard power in the West, we should also be highly alert to the use of westernized and differentiated soft power and smart power. We should also pay special attention to the new functions of new weapons such as financial manipulation, consciousness manipulation, NGO infiltration and information interference in the soft power of western powers headed by the United States under the new situation.
Sixth, we must always hold the supreme leadership of the party and the state in the hands of loyal Marxists, and always attach great importance to cultivating reliable successors to the proletarian revolutionary cause from generation to generation. From the perspective of historical materialism, any major event and its consequences are independent of the will of any individual. This is because the ultimate reason for the evolution of human history is determined by the development of productive forces, and the historical environment on which the development of productive forces in different countries depends also plays a role, thus making the historical development of different countries show different characteristics. In addition, each specific social era needs its own specific representative figures, and without these figures, such figures will be created. Lenin and Stalin are outstanding representatives of the fundamental interests of the proletariat and the broad masses of the people. Gorbachev, a concrete figure, appeared in the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s. In a sense, this is purely an accidental phenomenon.
However, it is inevitable to accidentally clear the way. "This is because opportunism is not an accidental phenomenon, not the sin, fault and rebellion of individual characters, but the social product of the whole historical era." The social conditions after the 20th Congress of the Soviet Union decided that Gorbachev would not be born at this time, and other substitutes would inevitably appear. History has long proved that great revolutionary struggles will make great people; And the countercurrent of history will push the rebellious characters out.
In fact, in a class society, different leaders are representatives of a particular class or group. According to the definition of Marxism, class and stratum mainly refer to the concepts of economic field rather than political field. Classes and strata in any society are the products of relations of production and exchange in any era, that is, the products of economic relations in their respective eras. Once classes and strata are formed, they will inevitably have a negative impact on the relations of production and exchange in a certain era. Any exploiting class and its stratum, once formed, will inevitably try to further establish relations of production and exchange that are most beneficial to them, and even try to end and solidify some relations.
In a sense, the privileged class of the Soviet Union and its representatives are the material force and even the driving force for the demise and disintegration of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev and Yeltsin are representatives of social forces in the Soviet Party and society who have tried to finally establish private ownership of the means of production in the Soviet Union for decades, and are representatives of the western monopoly bourgeoisie headed by the United States in the Soviet Party. Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's motives for finally destroying capitalism in the Soviet Union were not their trivial personal desires, but determined by the historical trend in which they lived.
We firmly believe that the road is tortuous and the future is bright. But the twists and turns will not be eliminated by themselves, and the light will not come automatically. In a sense, the contest between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, socialism and capitalism is the contest between the representative leaders of their respective political forces. The bourgeoisie attaches great importance to training and selecting its own representatives, and we, the proletariat and the people, must pay more attention to training and selecting representatives of our own cause, especially leaders. Only in this way can we push history forward in twists and turns, and finally send a way of life that runs counter to the historical trend to the grave after repeated hardships.
This once again shows the foresight and correctness of Comrade Mao Zedong's emphasis on training and bringing up millions of successors to the proletarian revolutionary cause, Comrade Deng Xiaoping's emphasis on "whether China can run well ... depends on people in a certain sense" and the profound truth that "people in a certain sense depends on people" in the relationship between the system and people.
Seventh, we must uphold the party's leadership over the army and oppose the nationalization of the army and judicial independence. Since its birth, the army has been closely linked with the country. The army is an important part of state power. In this sense, the army is national and has the nature of a country. However, the nationalization of the army has split and opposed the subordination of our military uniforms to the party, the country and the people. To uphold the party's leadership, we must uphold the proletarian nature of the army and the party's absolute leadership over the army. Under the guise of "nationalization of the army", the essence of asking the party to hand over the army is to "turn the people's army into an army of a few people."
From the perspective of party member cadres. First, we must strengthen our correct ideals and beliefs. By ideals and beliefs, we mean not only when Marxism and the socialist movement are flourishing, but also when they are very difficult, we should see its vitality, its inevitable development trend and bright prospects. Belief in Marxism is the spiritual motive force of China's revolution and construction. What is faith? Faith is by no means an empty sermon and theory. It was conquered by a theory, and no matter what difficulties and obstacles it encountered, it still fought for it voluntarily, with high morale and perseverance. It's called faith.
After the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Deng Xiaoping said categorically, "Don't panic, there is no such thing! I firmly believe that more people in the world will agree with Marxism. " It's called faith. There is a big difference whether you have faith or not. For leading cadres at all levels, losing this belief is very likely to harm others and themselves. In recent years, when many leading cadres who made mistakes were dealt with by party discipline and state law, they almost cried and said that they had relaxed their study and lost their faith in Marxism and * * * productism. This is the root cause.
Practice has proved that when the worldwide socialist ideological trend, theory, movement and system are at the climax, people often underestimate the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the socialist revolution, and are eager for success or even blindly optimistic; On the contrary, it is often easy to lack self-confidence and be pessimistic and disappointed. This requires a serious study of the basic theories of Marxism, a real understanding of the laws governing the development of human history, and never thinking that Marxism is out of date.
The world today is undergoing great changes and adjustments. The world has entered the fast lane of historical development. 265438+The world pattern in the first 20 or 30 years or even the first half century of the 20th century may be in a state of violent turbulence or even jumping, which is the inevitable result of the long-term cumulative conflicts of various major contradictions in the world, especially the fundamental contradiction between the socialization of production and even the globalization of production and the private possession of the means of production. We firmly believe that people all over the world will understand and transform the world in an incomparably rich social practice and colorful experiences and lessons; Around 2050, it will be another brilliant sunny day for world socialism.
Second, seriously study the Party's basic theory and Marxism. There are only two major events in life, one is to know the world, and the other is to transform the world. To transform the world, knowing the world is the premise. Therefore, we must seriously study Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, and correctly grasp the law of human historical development. Now all kinds of publications are scattered. Therefore, reading should be selective. Mainly optimistic about books, but also read some bad books and articles; Without reading some bad books and articles, it is impossible to really understand good books and articles. Therefore, comparative reading is a very important reading method and indispensable. When reading, we should resolutely oppose any dogmatism, bearing in mind that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" and "not only books, not only books, but also facts." Exchange, comparison and repetition. "Read with questioning and critical eyes; We should proceed from the fundamental interests of the party, country, nation and people, from the ever-changing times and national conditions, keep pace with the times and always be brave in innovation.
Third, further enhance the sense of hardship, pay serious attention to and think deeply about major issues. The essence of people's democracy and socialist democracy in China is that everyone is responsible. Paying attention to and thinking about major events at home and abroad is the responsibility and obligation of every China citizen and China citizen, as well as party member, the production party of China, and it is by no means the patent of a few people.
There are four strategic issues in the world that deserve our attention: first, the current situation and development trend of the international financial crisis that has not yet bottomed out; Second, the trend of the situation in West Asia and North Africa and the strategy of the United States returning to Asia; Third, the strategic trend after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear radiation in Japan; The fourth is the future strategic direction of Russia.
Fourth, seriously transform the world outlook. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: "Insist on using developing Marxism to guide the transformation of the objective world and the subjective world". Having a good world outlook is a great asset in a person's life. We don't blindly oppose considering personal interests, but we can't go too far. Too selfish, lack of friends; Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, you may be nervous all day; Especially if you do something illegal, you will always be on tenterhooks and worry about an accident. From the perspective of personal interest, it is good for your physical and mental health that the moon is bright and the wind is clear.
We should have a sense of historical responsibility. What leading cadres do today, like what scholars say and write today, will be judged by tomorrow's history and people. Let us bear in mind the profound lessons of the Soviet Union's subjugation of the Party and the country, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary, and strive hard to win new victories in building a well-off society in an all-round way and write a new chapter in the people's better life.
