Classical Writers' Thoughts On Maintaining Central Authority And Their Contemporary Practice

As a universal and long-standing phenomenon in human society,authority reflects the need to maintain social order in various stages of historical development in a certain extent.Political authority,as a kind of authority,is a transition of legitimizing and rationalizing the political power.After obtaining the psychological approval and voluntary obedience of political objects,political authority can construct a harmonious and stable political relationship.In the historical process of the development of Scientific Socialism and the International Communist Movement,Marxist classic writers also pay attention to the authority of the proletarian party.Firmly establishing and resolutely maintaining the central authority has always been an important content of the construction of the proletarian party.As the pioneers of the European proletarian revolution,Marx and Engels conducted detailed studies on the issue of authority in the practice of paying attention to and leading the European proletarian revolution,and demonstrated the indispensability of authority for human society and the proletarian revolution from many aspects.They focused on these aspects: Authority is the guarantee for the normal operation of social production;the proletarian revolution is the most authoritative thing in the world;and the dictatorship of proletariat can realize that centralized authority and democratic autonomy will be unified.Lenin further developed and perfected the theory of proletarian party.And under the guidance of this idea,he established the first country under the dictatorship of the proletariat in the world.In the process of leading the Russian revolution,Lenin always regarded maintaining the authority of the Party Central Committee resolutely as a key task.Lenin believed that the authority of the Party Central Committee is an important guarantee for the proletarian revolutionary party to seize power and consolidate the dictatorship;to maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee is primarily to maintain the authority of the leader and resolutely oppose factionalism;maintaining the authority of the Party Central Committee requires that we must obey the party's resolutions and strictly enforce the party's discipline.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,our party and country are facing new dangers and challenges.Therefore,the Communist Party of China must resolutely maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee and consolidate the leadership of the Party Central Committee.Practice has proved that the Communist Party of China resolutely maintains the authority of the Party Central Committee,which requires that all activities and work of the party must be centered on the people.The CPC should give full play to the institutional advantages of democratic centralism in ruling practice,and always use strict discipline to restrain political life within the party.
