The Study Of Mao Zedong’s Theory And Practice Of Constructing The Ruling Party And Its Contemporary Values

Mao Zedong is a great Marxist, proletarian revolutionist, strategist and theorist, who hasmade a permanent indelible contribution to the establishment and development of theCommunist Party of China, the victory of the people’s liberation, the foundation of thePeople’s Republic of China and the creation of Chinese socialist career. The life of MaoZedong is of great life.The theory and practice about the ruling Party of Mao Zedong is that he accuratelygrasped the historical position, had insight into the times characteristic and set base onnational conditions and the Party’s situation; in the great practice of leading our Party to haveChinese revolution and socialist revolution and construction, he inherited and developed theParty’s construction theory in the revolutionary period, and formed the ruling Marxist Party’sconstruction theoretical system, the main content of which is ideology, organization, system,style, anti-corruption and advanced construction, and has Chinese characteristic. Thistheoretical system was gradually formed in the partial ruling of the revolutionary bases, andwas gradually improved in the power seizing and nationwide ruling process.Party’s construction is a “great project”. Mao Zedong pointed out that ideologically buildParty was the universal law of a ruling Marxist Party construction theory; the proletarianruling Party’s construction in any countries should be started from the ideology construction,which is the soul of a ruling Party’s construction. Among those, scientific theoretical arm isthe base of ideological construction, of which the core is organically combine theory withpractice, the soul is innovate and develop the theory, and the goal is vigorously carry outideological education in our Party and organizationally and ideologically make Partymembers join the Party. Organization building is the fundamental project to consolidate itsfoundation in the developing process of our Party, is a systematical project of organizationbuilding, including the contingent of Party members and cadres, and grass-roots, amongwhich the base is the contingent of Party members’ construction, the core is the contingent ofcadres’ construction; the grass-roots organization building is the base of Party’s whole combat effectiveness. Organizational construction’s quality determines effectiveness and vitality ofthe ruling Party’s construction. Style construction is the important manifestation of the rulingParty’s construction, is the style construction theory and practice, which was formed in ourParty’s long-term revolution and struggle process and of which the main content is the FourStyles, such as combining theory with practice, closely linking with the masses, criticism andself-criticism and “Two Musts”, etc. Style is the external manifestation of Party’s spirit andview of the world, and is the major issue related to Party’s existence and death. Systemconstruction is the important guarantee of the ruling Party’s construction, and is afundamental and overall construction that is centralized as democratic centralism, and runsthrough ideology, organization, style, anti-corruption, etc. Anti-corruption is related to thepopular support for the Party and on its very survival, and is therefore a major political taskthe Communist Party of China must attend to at all times. Ideology construction is the base,organization construction is the guarantee, style construction is the key and systemconstruction is the way of building anti-corruption, which should focus on ideology anddemocracy anti-corruption, more importantly, it should also focus on system and the rule oflaw anti-corruption. Vanguard nature construction is the core of building the ruling Party; thevanguard nature is the essential attribute, the source of life and strength for a Marxist party.The vanguard nature of the Party is mainly reflected by the Party’s guiding ideology,objectives, programs, routines and policies, and determines the Party is the core of leadershipfor socialist undertakings. It is the premise and basis for the Party to make long-term andgood governance. As was pointed out by Hu Jintao, the reason why our Party has been able tobecome the core strength of the leadership of Chinese revolution, construction and reform, totake on the historical commitment of Chinese people and nation, to always stand on theinvincible position in the dramatically changing environment of international and domestic isfundamentally because our Party has always been highly focusing on and continuing tomaintain and develop itself as Marxist party’s vanguard nature.Mao Zedong’s theory and practice of the ruling party has explored a new road andaccumulated a lot of experience for the Communist Party of China to keep promoting the new “great project” for its construction in the new period, and it has great contemporary value. Thecontemporary value of Mao Zedong’s theory and practice of the ruling party is mainlyreflected in building scientific theory system for the Party’s construction in the new periodand establishing an ideological line of seeking truth from facts and a pragmatic way ofthinking for the Communist Party of China, such as seeking truth from facts, the mass line,independence, etc. it is reflected in building a scientific pattern for the Party’s selfconstruction, including ideology, organization, style, system, anti-corruption, advancedconstruction, etc. in the new period; it is reflected in establishing the theoretical basis forcontinuing to solve the basic problem of “of what kind Party to be constructed and how toconstruct the Party” in the new period; it is reflected in providing basic experience, basictarget, and practical path for continuing to promote the construction of the Marxism learningParty, maintain the purity of the Party and promote the Party’s scientific construction, etc. AsDeng Xiaoping said, our Party is the Party of Marxism and Mao Zedong’s thought. As JiangZemin pointed out, the good tradition of constructing the Party founded by Mao Zedong is anheirloom for us to govern our state and our family, which shouldn’t be abandoned at any time,or else it would be disastrous.Certainly, to a large extent, the theory and practice about the ruling Party’s constructionof Mao Zedong have obvious trace of Party’s construction in the revolutionary period, and inmany aspects, they follow the construction means in the revolutionary period, besides, inMao’s later years, he was anxious for socialist modernization construction and was detachedfrom the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, which caused the ruling Party go forwardin the twists and turns, but his theory and practice about the ruling Party’s construction stillhave very important contemporary values. As what was told in the comment of the Americanscholar, Womack, Mao Zedong Thought has unified the people and no one wants to abandonit. Because they can’t abandon their own history of revolution, neither can they set aside theweapons that they are familiar with and that are used to change the world.
