Analysis And Judgment Of The Situation By CPCCC And The Launching Of The "Great Leap Forward" Movement

The"Great leap forward"movement is a very important decision for Mao Zedong and the CPCCC to explore for our socialist development road, to try our best to change the poor backwardness national situation and to surpass western capitalist countries. Any decision is based on analysis and judgments of the situation. The decision of the"Great leap forward"movement by Mao Zedong and the CPCCC is also based on the comprehensive analysis and judgment of domestic and international situations. To study the analysis and judgment of domestic and international situations by Mao Zedong and the CPCCC has a very important significance to deepen the studies of the reasons of the"Great leap forward"movement.The analysis and judgments about the domestic political situation by CPCCC included the analysis and judgments of the internal principal contradiction and the Party's focus and the rectification anti-rightist movement in 1957. The analysis and judgment of the internal principal contradiction swayed between the twice 8th CPC Congress. To conclude that the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, the contradiction between the socialist road and the capitalist road are the main contradictions. This inevitably leads the economic construction is dominated by the class struggle. About the rectification anti-rightist movement and the serious enlargements, CPCCC concluded that it was a triumph of the socialist revolution, which will arouse the masses'enthusiasm of socialist construction. This is an important reason about the"Great leap forward"movement.The analysis and judgments about the domestic economic situation by CPCCC included the debate of the economic development speed and the reflection of the Soviet model malpractices. The struggle against check impetuosity ideas overcame the check impetuosity and rash advance idea, so the eager to hope for success thought triumph. The reflection of the soviet model malpractices compelled Mao Zedong and the CPCCC to find out a different from Soviet development path, in order to through high-speed economic development to prove the correctness and the superiority of this path. This is another reason about the"Great leap forward"movement.The analysis and judgments about the domestic public opinion situation by CPCCC was correct on some aspects, e.g. people's unprecedented construction enthusiasm. But there were also many problems, e.g. exaggerated the people's construction enthusiasm. This is the important inducement reason about the"Great leap forward"movement.The analysis and judgments about the international situation by CPCCC included the world war and the peace situation, the technology revolution wave, and the analysis and judgments about the 20th Congress of the CPSU and the Incident of Poland and Hungary. The analysis and judgments about the international situation by CPCCC about the world war and the peace situation, and the technology revolution wave were correct. Then they decided that we should rapidly enhance our national force to restrict war factors. Through analyzed the 20th Congress of the CPSU and the Incident of Poland and Hungary, CPCCC and Mao Zedong concluded that there were very serious Revisionism. In order to avoid the Revisionism, the ideas of the socialist construction must be changed to adopt the revolutionary experience, which emphasized the political strengthening. This is another reason for the"Great leap forward"movement.Reviewing and summarizing the analysis and judgment process by Mao Zedong and the CPCCC, we found that some were corrects, some were exaggerated, some were absolutely wrong. We conclude the lessons as follows: (1) we should be calm to analyze and judge the objective situations, not do a temporary subjective mood; (2) we should comprehensively and correctly set priorities, and to seize the dominant trend develop; (3) we should draw on the wisdom of the masses during the analysis and judgment, to avoid by leaders of one likes and dislike to conclusions.
