Deng Xiaoping's Proletarian Party's View On Leaders

Political parties on the stage of history are the product of the development of human society to a certain stage,which is inevitably new in the history.In the organizational structure of a political party,the leader of the political party is an indispensable part,which plays many important roles,such as an organizer,leader and spokesman.He also plays an unparalleled role among ordinary members of a political party.He is a "soul" figure who leads a political party and its members to carry out political activities,participate in the political life of the country,and achieve the party's programs and objectives.The historical practices of proletarian political parties and international communist movements all over the world also fully illustrate that scientific understanding of the role and function of leaders in the organizational structure of political parties and correct handling of the relationship between leaders and the masses,classes and political parties are crucial to the survival of proletarian political parties and the success or failure of the leadership cause of proletarian political parties.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to strengthen and deepen the theoretical study of proletarian party leaders.The Communist Party of China is a revolutionary and mission-oriented party armed with Marxist theory.There are both positive experiences and negative lessons in scientifically recognizing and correctly handling the important theoretical and practical issues of the relationship among the party leaders,the masses,the classes and the political parties.On the whole,however,in the course of its establishment,development and growth,and in the glorious years of leading the people in the cause of great revolution,construction and reform and opening-up,the Communist Party of China has been able to better examine and deal with the issue of party leaders with the basic principles,positions and perspectives of dialectical materialism and historical materialism.As an important member of the first generation of the Party's leading collective and the core of the second generation of the Party's leading collective,Deng Xiaoping took the lead among the cadres and masses both inside and outside the Party with tremendous political courage and superb political wisdom after the end of the "Cultural Revolution" and in view of the fact that many Party members and cadres,even senior Party cadres,had realized dogma and rigidity in their ideology and were deeply trapped in the quagmire of personal superstition and worship of leaders.It is proposed that we should "fully and accurately understand Mao Zedong Thought" and oppose "two whatsoever" with a clear banner.It is also opposed to over-propaganda ofindividual leaders and the creation of new worshiping leaders.It supports and leads the national discussion on the issue of truth standards and the drafting of "Resolutions on Several Historical Issues of the Party since the founding of the People's Republic",leading cadres and masses inside and outside the Party to seek truth from facts.Evaluating the merits and demerits of Mao Zedong Thought and Mao Zedong and other Party leaders in the history has liberated the cadres and masses inside and outside the Party from the "wrong and dogmatic understanding of Marxism" on the issue of Party leaders,unified their thoughts,and laid the ideological foundation for continuing to raise and develop Mao Zedong Thought and for creating socialism with Chinese characteristics.At the same time,starting from the long-term development of the Party and the people's cause,Deng Xiaoping focused on the theoretical and practical theme of "What is socialism and how to build socialism".With a high sense of historical mission and responsibility,under the conditions of reform and opening-up and the development of socialist market economy,how to scientifically understand and correctly handle the relationship among party leaders,the masses,the classes and political parties and how to select,cultivate,use and supervise the leaders of proletarian political parties and other important theoretical and practical issues have been thoroughly pondered and boldly explored,and many new judgments and expositions have been put forward to promote the new development of the Marxist proletarian party leadership concept in China,which has generated the Chinese Marxist proletarian party leadership concept,that is,Deng Xiaoping proletarian party.The core of Deng Xiaoping's proletarian party's leadership view mainly includes the following aspects:On the issue of the collective view of the leaders of the proletarian party,Deng Xiaoping holds that a mature and stable collective of leaders is an important symbol to judge whether the proletarian party is mature or not.This is not only related with the development and growth of the party itself,but also with the future of the country and the rise and fall of the national destiny.In view of the experiences and lessons at home and abroad and the needs of the various undertakings led by the Party,Deng Xiaoping has been expecting the collective leadership of the Party to establish a political image of adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles,an image of cadres and entrepreneurs adhering to reform and opening up,and an image of a clean and honest government servant and a united and inclusive governing team among leaders.Therefore,he demanded that every leader in the collective should consciously safeguard the core of the collective leadership,adhere to democratic centralism,adhere to the leadership style combining collective leadership with individual division of labor,and effectively combine the role of individual leaders with that of collectiveleaders.On the issue of selecting the leaders of proletarian party,Deng Xiaoping held that this was a major issue concerning the purity of the Party's cadres,the optimization of the Party's cadres especially the leaders,and the implementation of the political line drawn up at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee.Therefore,he suggested that in the selection of leading cadres,we should adhere to the basic policies and standards of being revolutionary,younger,knowledgeable,professional and both virtuous and talented;the principle of selecting cadres who are appointed only by virtue;and the principles of democratic selection,structural optimization,steady and gradual progress,and generally accepted by the people.At the same time,we should emancipate our minds,reform and innovate the establishment of institutions,release the growth space of leading cadres,reform the personnel system,eliminate the institutional obstacles in the selection of leading cadres,and mobilize the masses to participate extensively in the selection of leading cadres that the people are satisfied with.On the issue of the authority of the leaders of the proletarian party,Deng Xiaoping believed that the authority of the leaders should not be narrowly regarded as the authority of the leaders themselves,but should be regarded as the authority of the Party Central Committee,the State Council and the collective leadership,which is the unity of the individual authority of the leaders with the authority of the organizations and the collective authority of the leaders.Does the authority of a leader depend largely on the support of the masses or not? Is the proletarian party leader mature or not? Is the implementation of Party discipline is strict or not ? To this end,Deng Xiaoping stressed that in order to safeguard the leadership authority of the new Central Collective Leaders,veteran comrades should not only "help sb.to get on the horse" but also "escort a distance";leaders should correctly understand and handle the relationship between safeguarding the collective authority of the leaders and the personal authority of the leaders,oppose to the personal worship and prevent the arbitrariness of the leaders,strictly implement the Party's policies and adopt the attitude of zero tolerance for intra-party factional activities that violate organizational and political discipline.On the issue of evaluating the leaders of the proletarian party,Deng Xiaoping holds that whether the leaders of the proletarian party can be evaluated scientifically and accurately is an important issue concerning the "flag to be held" and "the way to go",the survival of the Party and the success or failure of the cause of reform and opening up.Therefore,Deng Xiaoping put forward the three principles of "seeking truth from facts","coarser than thinner" and "looking forward" on the issue ofscientific evaluation of Mao Zedong Thought,Mao Zedong and other leaders' merits and demerits and the historical status.He advocated combining the open discussion with the way of political resolution within the Party,promoting democracy and centralized unification.In this way,we can neither "throw knives" nor "cut flags",but also hold high the banner of Mao Zedong Thought,consolidate the party's ruling position and enhance the party's international image.Deng Xiaoping's view on the leadership of the proletarian party is a successful example of the Sinicization of the Marxist view on the leadership of the proletarian party,a succession and development of Mao Zedong's view on the leadership of the proletarian party,and a theoretical achievement of the Sinicized Marxist view on the leadership of the proletarian party.The realistic attitude,the quality of innovation,the dialectical thinking and the feelings of serving the people are their distinct theoretical characters.In the new era,we should establish a correct view of the leaders of the proletarian political parties,give full play to the scientific guiding function of Deng Xiaoping's proletarian party leadership concept,and under the guidance of Xi Jinping's socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era,push the cause of reform and opening up led by the Party,the cause of national rejuvenation and the great cause of people's happiness to a new historical stage.
