Research On The Party's Authority Thought Of Marx And Engels

The party's authority thought of Marx and Engels is an important part of the construction of Marxist parties.Through the analysis of history and text,we find that Marx and Engels did indeed have the authority of the party.A thorough and systematic study of the historical background,formation and development process of the Marx and Engels party's authority thought,the realization of the party's authority,historical significance,and realistic inspirations will help us understand the thoughts of Marx and Engels and further enrich them.Marxist party thought.Each theory has its own background and social soil.The era in which Marx and Engels live is precisely the era when European countries are accelerating their development towards capitalism.Economically,while promoting the rapid development of social productive forces and establishing the authority of large industries,capitalism is also exacerbating the contradiction between socialized production and capitalist private ownership of the means of production,and the global economic crisis has periodically erupted.Politically,the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie deepened,and the proletariat gradually grew into a political force capable of resisting the bourgeoisie.The bourgeoisie's control of state power in the form of political parties is also inspiring the proletariat.The proletariat went from spontaneous to conscious,and fought the bourgeoisie through its own political parties.Proletarian parties have emerged and have entered the arena of history to fight the bourgeoisie.Culturally,the anti-authoritarian tendency in the Enlightenment thought and the thought of the construction of the early working-class organizations provided theoretical reference for Marx and Engels' s authority thought.In addition,the struggle between Marxism and Bakuninism directly accelerated the birth of the Marx and Engels party's authority thought.The party's authority thought of Marx and Engels was not formed suddenly,but accompanied by the unfolding process of Marx and Engels revolutionary practice activities,which can be roughly divided into four stages: budding,preliminary exploration,comprehensive elaboration and continued development.Young Marx and Engels were influenced by the youngHegelian ideology,and successively became democratic revolutionaries and opposed the political authority of the Prussian government.In the process of deepening society,Marx and Engels gradually transformed from democratic revolutionaries to communists,established the great ideals of communism,began to contact the proletarian groups of other countries in the form of communist news agencies,and began to engage with various non-scientific The theory makes a preliminary struggle to clarify the revolutionary authority of the proletariat.During the Communist Justice League,Marx and Engels made basic rules for the party and became a common requirement for the formation of a proletarian party in the future;began the early anti-secession struggle and safeguarded central authority.In the process of forming the “First International”,Marx and Engels began a confrontation with the Trade unionism,Proudhonism,etc.,and gradually made clear the importance of the proletarian revolutionary authority.In their struggle against anarchy,they repeatedly emphasized the theoretical authority of Marxism and the organizational authority of the party.As a result,Marx and Engels comprehensively expounded the party's authority thought.After the “First International”,Marx and Engels did not stop,and continued to carry out theoretical and practical explorations of the party's authoritative thoughts.For example,during the merger of German socialist parties,they criticized Liebknech et al..After Marx's death,especially in the development of the “Second International”,Engels still resolutely maintained the authority of Marxism in his later years.After studying and analyzing the formation background and development process of the party's authority thought of Marx and Engels,Marx and Engels have a deep understanding of the authority of the party.They believe that the core essence of the party's authority is to maintain the leadership of the proletariat.On the one hand,the class nature of the party determines that the authority must serve the cause of the proletariat.On the other hand,the inherent requirements of the party's democratic centralism must be maintained Party leadership.Judging from the main content,the authority of the party discussed by Marx and Engels mainly includes political authority,ideological authority,and organizational authority.Among them,political authority is determined by the party's political program and its own nature.The party's ideological authority is mainly supported by scientific theory,and the party's organizational authority is guaranteed bya complete organizational system.From a value standpoint,the ultimate value of the party's authority is the emancipation of mankind,and the people's political position has always been firm in the process of realization.Therefore,the party's authority only serves as a means in the process of achieving liberation,rather than establishing authority for authority.Marx and Engels believed that the emergence of party authority is historically inevitable.It is not only conducive to the unity and unity of the party,but also to the implementation of revolutionary actions.For a long period of time in the pre-communist society,party authority still played an important role.Marx and Engels proposed ways to strengthen the party's authority: First,carry forward democracy within the party,properly handle the relationship between party members and cadres and party leaders,and properly handle the relationship between the central government and grassroots organizations.The second is to give play to the role of mass organizations.On the one hand,the party must pay attention to strengthening the leadership of social mass organizations,and also make full use of these organizations to expand its influence and further strengthen the party's authority.The third is to properly handle inter-party relations and adopt different strategies for different parties.The fourth is to realize the dialectical unity of party authority and people's autonomy.On the one hand,strengthening the party's authority is a political guarantee for giving play to the people's autonomy;on the other hand,exerting the people's autonomy is also inseparable from the party's media.The party's authority exists relative to the exercise of people's autonomy,and the exercise of people's autonomy also depends on authority and is more effective.This is the way that Marx and Engels proposed to strengthen the party's authority under the conditions of their time.Some are only preliminary ideas,but they have opened up the successor's thinking and imagination of the party's authority.The authoritative thought of Marx and Engels is an important ideological wealth in the history of the construction of the proletarian party.He initiated the theory of the construction of the proletarian party's authority,distinguished Marxism and anarchy earlier,continued to promote the unity of thought within the proletarian ranks,and provided valuable experience for the subsequent construction of the authority of the Communist Party of various countries.In the new era,the authority thought of Marx and Engels also has very important realisticenlightenment.First,we must attach great importance to the construction of the party's authority;second,we must build a people-centered authority system,and the party organization must give full play to the initiative and enthusiasm of the people with actual achievements.The third is to require the new era to strengthen the institutionalization and standardization of democracy within the party,carry out free exchanges,and create a good atmosphere for consultation within the party.The fourth is to strengthen the ties between party organizations and various groups and organizations,and send effective backbones,Strengthen the party's leadership over mass organizations,and use mass organizations to unite the masses as much as possible.Fifth,in inter-party relations,we must emphasize not only the realization of win-win cooperation in the exchanges with democratic parties,but also the adherence to the principles of internationalism that is both united and independent in the exchanges with the Communist Parties of various countries.
