Research On Propaganda And Mobilization In Hunan Agricultural Cooperative Movement

Propaganda and mobilization is an important task of the CPC.The propaganda and mobilization in Hunan agricultural cooperative movement,which has played a great role in raising farmers’ socialist consciousness and promoting peasants to take the road of collectivized production.The rapid advance and completion of Hunan Agricultural Cooperative Movement is related to the great propaganda and mobilization.After the land reform of Hunan countryside,farmers individual production enthusiasm is high.However,due to the lack of means of production,it was not very realistic for many poor peasants to "make their families rich" by developing agricultural production alone,and they have the desire to "organize themselves"."Organizing " has been practiced by the Party in the period of democratic revolution,and it is the main way to develop agricultural production and realize peasants’ affluence.The agricultural cooperative movement was the continuing practice of the thought of "organizing" after the founding of the people’s Republic of China.The aim of the agricultural co-operative movement is to lead peasants to the socialist road of collective production,which conflicts with the production and living habits of individual peasants.In the traditional individual farmers long-term production,the consciousness of small peasant and peasant characteristics is very obvious,they were always trying to achieve personal build up the family fortunes.Since there was little surplus in backward agricultural production,farmers under the conditions of smallholder production pay more attention to immediate interests and done not have much expectation for the future.The propaganda and mobilization of Hunan agricultural cooperative movement is precisely to tell the peasants a story about tomorrow,and the theme of this story was about agricultural production co-operatives,the superiority of collective production and the beauty of socialist society.As a result,many peasants were initially hesitant,panicked or even dissatisfied with the road of collective production and socialism to be taken,and had serious resistance to the agricultural cooperative movement.The propaganda and mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement is mainly through the way of ideological education to eliminate these doubts and dissatisfaction among the peasants and to guide them on the socialist road guided by the Party.Hunan is a new liberated area,although experienced land reform,but for mostfarmers,CPC is a strange face of outsiders.After the start of the agricultural cooperation movement,most of the grass-roots party organizations in rural areas of Hunan have been established.The propaganda and mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement accelerated the sinking process of the Party’s organization system in the countryside.At the same time,through rectifying the propaganda network of the rural party and the mass propaganda network,the propaganda mechanism of Hunan agricultural cooperative movement is more perfect;Through strengthening the study of agricultural cooperative policy and the training of propaganda cadres,the propaganda and mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement is more standardized,and the party firmly grasps the right of speech in the propaganda and mobilization;Through the central work around the different stages of the agricultural cooperative movement,the influence of the propaganda and mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement has been continuously expanded.The propaganda and mobilization in Hunan agricultural cooperative movement is a process from inside to outside,and in this process,the members of rural party and regiment,young activists and rural women were the key targets of propaganda and mobilization.The members of CPC and the members of the Communist Youth League of China in the rural should play a leading and exemplary role in the agricultural co-operative movement.They have been educated by the Party and have a certain understanding of the collectivization road they are following.However,most of the members of CPC in the rural developed from the peasants.They also had the smell of small farmers and their minds were easily shaken.Their propaganda and mobilization were the guarantee for the successful movement of agricultural cooperation.Young activists are enthusiastic about the agricultural cooperative movement,but they are not very good at agricultural production and generally do not adapt to the hard work in agricultural production.The main reason for their propaganda and mobilization is to reassure them about agricultural production.Give play to the role of young people in agricultural cooperatives.The mobilization of rural women into agricultural production cooperatives is linked to the emancipation of women.The participation of women in agricultural production marks the complete emancipation of women and at the same time addresses the needs of agricultural production cooperatives for the labour force.The experience of propaganda and mobilization accumulated by the Party in the long-term revolution played an important role in the agricultural cooperative movement.From the perspective of propaganda and mobilization in Hunan agricultural cooperation movement,the party basically followed the experience of land reform,mainly for text,voice and exemplary propaganda and mobilization.But in the concrete process of propaganda and mobilization,it has its own characteristics different from the period of land reform movement.For example,the "grievance associations" widely used in the agrarian reform movement have been rarely used,and the mass meetings held in the agricultural cooperative movement or the poor peasants’ associations have also used the methods of recalling,comparing and calculating accounts.But its focus is not to arouse peasants’ dislike of old society or old system,but to arouse their yearning for new society and new way.In the propaganda and mobilization of Hunan’s agricultural cooperative movement,newspapers,books,radio,exhibitions,films and theatrical troupes are also mainly in the form of positive propaganda to publicize the enthusiasm of the broad masses of peasants to follow the socialist road.To publicize the superiority of agricultural cooperatives in increasing production.The propaganda and mobilization of Hunan agricultural cooperative movement has the characteristics of two sides or many aspects.In the propaganda mobilization there were both patient ideological education and serious compulsive order,which emphasized both the encouragement of economic interests and the struggle of class consciousness.These factors were often mixed together,which maked the propaganda and mobilization of agricultural cooperation seem complicated and confused.But from the whole process of Hunan agricultural cooperative movement,in the phase of mutual aid group and primary agricultural production cooperative,there were more ideological education and material encouragement in propaganda and mobilization;In the stage of higher-level agricultural production cooperatives,there were more forced orders and class struggles in propaganda and mobilization.At the same time,the propaganda mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement was not carried out in isolation,but at the same time with the general route of the transitional period and the propaganda mobilization of the unified purchase and marketing policy,which was a kind of relationship that echoes and promotes each other.It is the main purpose of historical research to explore and study historical datato present the historical process truthfully and stereoscopically.At the same time,to learn from history,education is also an important task in the history of the party.Although there are great differences between the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the period of the agricultural cooperative movement,in the new era,the problem of the development of China’s agricultural countryside and the problem of the Chinese peasants’ affluence have not been completely solved.It has even become a short board and short legs for building a well-off society and realizing modernization in an all-round way.Therefore,summing up the experience and lessons of peasant propaganda and mobilization in the agricultural cooperative movement has realistic enlightenment significance for the strategy of "rural rejuvenation" promoted by the Party in the new era and the realization of agricultural rural modernization.
