Research On Theories And Practice Of Ideological Construction Of The Communist Party Of China

Since its foundation in 1921,the Communist Party of China takes the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its own task,persists in integrating the fundamental principles of Marxism with the specific situation in China,unites the Chinese people of all ethnic groups untiringly to overcome all kinds of hardships and dangers,and unceasingly achieves the great victory of the revolution,construction and Reform.The practice has proved that without the Communist Party of China,there would be no new China,and there would be no socialism with Chinese characteristics.To run things in China,the key is in the party.To adhere to the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics,to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,Chinese people must unswervingly adhere to the leadership of the party,and the party must strengthen its self-construction.Ideological construction is the soul of CPC's self-construction,which means it is the first task and key link of CPC's self-construction.Extremely stressing the party's ideological construction is a notable feature of CPC on its own construction.To build the party ideologically as the first step of the party's self-construction,and then build the party organizationally and strict the regulations and disciplines of the party,is Mao Zedong's route of party-building,and also is the defining characteristic of CPC's self-construction.CPC acquires knowledge about ideological self-construction through a long and difficult process.As the CPC's guiding thoughts,Marxism,Leninism,Mao Zedong Thought,and Socialism with Chinese characteristics all provide scientific knowledge about the party's ideological construction at the different historical stages.From the GuTian Conference,Chinese communists summarize positive and negative experiences on the party's ideological self-construction generation by generation and explore precious conceptual knowledges about it,such as ideological construction is the soul of the party's self-construction,persisting Marxism ideological line is the core of the party's ideological self-construction,pushing forward theoretical innovation is the essential requirement of the party's ideological self-construction,continuously strengthening ideological arming is the fundamental task of the party's ideological self-construction,ideological self-construction must closely adhere to the political line of the party and so on.Ideological self-construction actually is summation of the party's all ideological work.Its basic content and main task are arming the whole party's thought by Marxism-Leninism,Mao Zedong Thought,and Socialism with Chinese characteristics,by which achieves the ideological identification of the whole society.Its key point is the ideological hegemony of CPC.The party's ideological self-construction contains an inner structure which presents two aspects and three levels.The two aspects are theoretical construction and ideological arming,which also are basic content and main task of the party's ideological self-construction respectively.Theoretical construction and ideological arming have a dialectical and interdependent relationship.The three levels are totally different on each one's nature,function and effect.The high level answers fundamental questions about the party's future development.The middle level is in charge of arming senior cadres' thoughts with the party's ideology.The base level determines party members' overall quality and the party's mass base.The two aspects penetrate the all three levels,and in the three levels,each level has two aspects of ideological construction tasks,this is a simple description of the two aspects and three levels structure of the party's ideological self-construction.The relationships between the party's ideological construction and organizational construction,style construction,anti corruption construction and system construction are mutual guarantee,mutual test,mutual safeguard and mutual consolidation.The five constructions unify in the overall layout of the CPC's party building.Under the new conditions,the party's ideological self-construction faces a lot of challenges from politics,economy,society,culture and the party itself.As to politics,confrontation between the Chinese road and the Western road,the left wing and the right wing is fiercer and fiercer.The so-called “Sunflower Movement” occurred in Chinese Taiwan and the “Occupy Central with Love and Peace Movement” occurred in Chinese Hongkong remind China of high risk of Color Revolution.As to economy,the Marxism three fetishisms: commodity fetishism,currency fetishism and capital fetishism,are inherent drawbacks of market economy,which engender a kind of interference effect with socialist system,that makes money worship more and more popular,cripples the party's ideological education and undermines the party's governance base.As to society,economic sectors,benefit relationships,distribution modes,organization types and employment modes are more and more diversified,which weaken the party's integration and cohesion power.As to culture,aggression of the Western cultural imperialism and clash of different civilizations are amplified by mass media of the “We-media Era”.The traditional social communication structure is totally reconstructed on every aspects of information communicating process including producing,spreading,controlling and effecting,which dispels the information spreading and controlling ability of the party-controlled media,dilutes its scarcity and authority,and threatens the party's ideological hegemony.Market and entertainment oriented approach strongly shock the party's ideological theme on literary and artistic creation.As to the party itself,the whole party is confronted with increasingly grave dangers of lacking in drive,incompetence,being out of touch with the people,and corruption.These four dangers reflect a mount of party members facing the crisis of loss of faith and ability panic.Facing so many challenges from politics,economy,society,culture and the party itself,CPC must strengthen and improve its ideological self-construction.First,on politics,firmly march on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics,promote theoretical innovation in order to continuously improve theoretical position of socialism with Chinese characteristics theory,and keep up with the time,continuously pushing forward the modernization of the ideological construction system and ideological construction capacity.Second,vigorously promote the core socialist values for consolidating the social base of the party's ideological self-construction,and consolidate the “Four Confidences” of the whole society.Third,in cultural life,confidently grasp the party's ideological hegemony in order to build a multi-leveled and wide-field ideological education system.Fourth,resolutely make an all-out effort to enforce strict Party discipline,put ideological construction at the first place of all jobs of the Party's self-construction,through which firming all party members' faith,supplementing their spiritual “calcium”,by all these making sure the Party's ideological purity,organizational purity,style purity,making sure the Party always being the strong leadership core of uniting and leading the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to realize the “Chinese Dream” of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
